Primary data was obtained from an analysis of waste amount in 2021 and interviews with incinerator managers. Secondary data in the form of waste types, impacts, and incinerator residue were obtained from the literature study. This research aims to identify solid medical waste management with hazardous and toxic materials compared with Regulation of Environment and Forestry Minister of Republic Indonesia 56/2015. After analysis, it was found that there is dangerous and harmful solid medical waste flow management, distinguished by type. Particular colored medical waste is managed by reducing, sorting, storing, transporting, and destroying. Destruction is conducted with an incinerator.
