Abstract: Qatar has recently witnessed an unprecedented growth in population and economy since 2007 that has led to a significant increase in domestic waste generation. This research aims at understanding the composition of domestic waste, evaluating the health hazard on human health in Qatar and proposing proper disposal methods of domestic hazardous waste. The results show that the domestic waste is dominated by plastic bottles, bags, and paper. The most common disposal method is in communal trashcan without sorting, and 77% of trash collectors reported that they were injured by broken glass.
