ABSTRACT
The use of public transportation such as train is the practical choice for the capital city people. The active gathering place for people causing waste, in this case, at the station. Various kinds of waste can be generated inside the station, such as wastewater, domestic-like waste, and hazardous waste. In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, hazardous waste generation is the main focus not to infect humans. The purpose of this research is to examine the management of hazardous waste from the train station. This research uses secondary data from a hazardous waste inventory. The hazardous waste inventory results before the COVID-19 pandemic, hazardous waste generation is only 2.11 kg/day, and 2% are infectious characteristics. Considering that during the COVID-19 pandemic, domestic waste such as disposable masks, used gloves, tissue/cloth containing liquid/nasal and mouth droplets would fall into the category of being treated as infectious waste. Comparison with literature studies shows infectious waste generation at the train station can reach 1.93-12.5 L/day. Reservoirs of combustible hazardous solid waste can use used drums, combustible hazardous liquid waste can use HDPE plastic material, and hazardous toxic waste can use fiberglass. Infectious, hazardous waste was put into a container lined with yellow plastic bags with biohazard symbols and given disinfectants such as 0.5% chlorine, Lysol, and carbolic acid. Hazardous waste transportation can use a Stationary Container System (SCS), and officers must use personal protective equipment according to standards. Hazardous waste treatment can use an incinerator or autoclave. © 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering. All rights reserved.
