A New Practice for Proper Collection of Waste Masks & Gloves
Be?ikta?
From 01/04/2020 to 31/12/2020
Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the Be?ikta? Municipality has been implementing some practices as part of the proper waste management efforts. Experts point out that one of the most important criteria of protection from this outbreak is the use of masks and gloves. Fortunately, the attention paid by citizens to these warnings has been increasing the use of masks and gloves in communal areas. However, this situation also brings along the problem of medical waste. Uncontrolled disposal of waste masks and gloves may increase the risk of citizens’ being infected. For this reason, Be?ikta? Municipality has placed "Collection Bins for Waste Masks and Gloves” at certain key points such as public institutions, markets and family health centres. The medical wastes thrown into the waste bins will be duly disposed after they are properly collected.
