Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal

What is Pharmaceutical Waste?

Pharmaceutical waste is any waste that contains medicinal drugs that are expired,
unused, contaminated damaged or no longer needed. Our waste services can help with the collection and disposal of the following:

  • Pharmaceutical stock which is out of date
  • Pharmaceutical stock which is no longer required
  • Controlled drugs destruction kits
  •  Recalled pharmaceutical stock
  • Pharma bins
  • All waste associated with pharmaceutical

 

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.
