This work evaluates some referring aspects to the residues classification and segregation generated in Ulbra’s Veterinary Hospital (RS), starting from studies accomplished in the elaboration of a Residues Health Service Management Plan (PGRSS), for the institution. The plan was based on RDC nº 306/2004 ANVISA’s Resolution (Brasil, 2004), that defines the guidelines for handling the health institutions residues, including the segregation, collection, storage, internal and external transportation, treatment and final disposition. From the characterization, classification and the diagnostic handling activities of hospital residues, it was possible to evaluate the segregation importance, in the origin location, for the residues reduction that need special treatments, as well as for the risks reduction of diseases propagation.
