common questions

How do I categorize which pharmaceuticals are hazardous?

Approximately 5% of the average drug inventory is considered hazardous waste by the EPA. These drugs must be handled, managed, transported and disposed of as hazardous waste, and should always be disposed in an approved hazardous waste container.

What are RCRA pharmaceuticals?

Pharmaceuticals are classified as Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste when deemed nonviable (returned, expired or damaged). The volume and type of listing can dictate volumes permitted to be stored, generator status and packaging requirements for disposal. Pharmaceutical waste should always be disposed of in an approved hazardous waste container.

Are unused and/or expired medicines classified as pharmaceutical waste?

Yes – the Pharmaceutical Waste Stream includes residual medicines which may be contained in partly emptied glass vials, hard capsule or tablet medication, broken ampoules and drawing up needles. These wastes should always be disposed in an approved pharmaceutical waste container.

How to dispose? – Hazardous vs Nonhazardous Pharmaceutical Waste?

Pharmaceutical waste that falls under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, as amended (42 USCA Sec. 6901 et seq.) should be disposed of into a hazardous waste container.
