Hospitals are the main means to support and improve public health. Every hospital
operational activity has the potential to produce waste that has an impact on
environmental pollutionss. Environmental pollution is the entry of pollutants into the
natural environment that can cause changes that damage the environment. This study
aims to determine the procedures for implementing and managing Hazardous waste
by PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul Hospital and to find out what are the obstacles faced
in the implementation of Hazardous waste management. Based on the research, the
management of Hazardous waste at PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul Hospital has been
carried out well but not yet optimal. This is evidenced by the existence of a temporary
storage area to accommodate the waste generated. The wastes are transported by the
final processor, PT. Arah, get destroyed. The obstacle faced in the implementation of
Hazardous waste management is when a third party as the final processor is late to
transport the waste so that the accumulation of waste occurs. The implementation of
Hazardous waste management by PKU Muhammad Bantul Hospital has not been
optimal due to several obstacles, including: lack of trash cans, delays in transporting
waste, empty plastic bag supplies, janitors who are still negligent in managing waste.
