This study was conducted to determine whether or not people segregate waste and, if so, into how many categories, whether or not they use proper disposal methods when disposing sanitary waste, how often they clean their dustbins, and whether or not they have encountered difficulties finding newspapers to dispose sanitary waste in public places. Sanitary waste is the disposal of menstrual items such as sanitary pads, tampons, and other menstrual goods. The primary goal and objective of our study was to determine if individuals are aware of the significance of garbage and sanitary waste segregation. Determine the obstacles people have while disposing of sanitary waste. It is necessary to separate sanitary trash since it is biohazardous waste and to dispose of it properly because it is extremely unclean and might transmit germs. We prepared a questionnaire and 52 persons participated in answering the questionnaire. Following a comprehensive examination and interpretation of this questionnaire, we discovered that many individuals lack knowledge regarding sanitary waste segregation and have difficulty disposing of sanitary waste.
