As of 2001, Cambodia lacked even the most rudimentary programs for medical waste disposal. By far the largest current hazardous waste threat is medical waste. The city has few working incinerators, and many hospitals dispose of their medical waste in the city dump, which is unlined, and has children scavenging it daily. Body parts are commonly found in the dump. At the time of our visit, there was need for a central incinerator, or incinerator reform program capable of handling this kind of waste, and a process to collect and transport it to the incinerator.
