Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal
What is Pharmaceutical Waste?

Is Pharmaceutical Waste Regulated as Hazardous Waste?
About 10% of all pharmaceutical waste is considered to be “hazardous waste” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA classifications depend on each medication’s chemical properties. States may regulate more pharmaceuticals as hazardous waste than the EPA.
The EPA regulates the disposal of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals through the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
The DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration) regulates the disposal of pharmaceutical waste. https://www.dea.gov/drug-information/csa
Here are some helpful links to learn more about the EPA, RCRA, and DEA controlled substances:
What Are the Risks of Improper Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal?
If disposed of incorrectly, active pharmaceutical ingredients can be released into the environment. Improper drug disposal methods can include washing drugs down sinks, flushing them down toilets, or throwing them away in the regular trash.
Improper pharmaceutical waste management can also contribute to the opioid epidemic. Leaving unneeded and addictive pain medication in patient homes rather than promptly discarding them can increase the risk that a household member could access and abuse them.
