The Waste Health Services (RSS) are those outcomes of care to human or animal health, generated in hospital, clinics, laboratories, pharmacies and similar services and deserve attention because of potential risk to human health can offer as much for the environment. Inferred from the legislation that among the institutions responsible for managing RSS from its generation to final disposal, are those of veterinary care and veterinary clinics and pet shops, which has generated concern to health authorities the disposal of its waste, because improper disposal of some items endangers the health of pets and people in general. In this context the research aimed to evaluate the management of Solid Waste Health Services of veterinary establishments in the town of Mossoró-RN.
