This work aims to adapt the waste management plan in a laboratory of clinical analyses of small businesses through the correct classification and measurement of its waste, providing procedures and methods in order to install an infrastructure that can encourage not generation and the minimization of waste on generating sources. The process took place with the weighing of all waste generated with your characterization and their subsequent segregation in A, B, C, D or E according to current legislation, in the period from July to October 2011, on all days of the week. By analyzing the data was found that in July the prevalence of ship generated waste was of Group D with 45.8% followed by the Group A with 41.8%, group and with 8.6% and Group B with 3.8%. Already in the month of August, the prevalence of Group D remains with 44.9% followed by the group, with 42.5%, group and with 8.9% and Group B with 3.7%. In September there was the prevalence of Group D, Group A, group and Group B with 51.2%, 36.3%, 8.6% and 3.9% respectively. In October there has been practically with the same percentage, with slight prevalence, Group D with 43.7%, followed by the Group A with 43.5%, group and with 8.8% and in Group B with 4.1%. At the end of the study found that after practices and processes deployed and modified, the total quantity of waste which in July was spent in October 358.01 kg to 215.22 kg. One might conclude that a waste Management Plan of health services is a dynamic process that requires constant updating of data, coupled with the commitment and awareness of all employees on the importance not only of preserving the health and safety of the worker but also in qualifying and in the preservation of the environment.
