Pharmaceutical Waste Management

Clean Harbors provides comprehensive collection and disposal services for safe pharmaceutical waste management.

Pharmaceutical Waste Characterization – We provide a comprehensive review of hospital pharmacy products and compounded formulas.  Our formulary characterization accurately determines EPA, RCRA, and DOT requirements for each National Drug Code (NDC) product.  Pharmaceutical waste characterization is particularly critical for chemotherapy agents, U-listed and P-listed hazardous waste.

Satellite Accumulation Area Collection – Clean Harbors provides pharmaceutical waste collection container systems in the pharmacy and patient care areas.  Disposable and reusable containers are used to properly separate pharmaceutical waste from biological or solid waste.  Clean Harbors manages the collection and replacement of the pharmaceutical waste management containers on their scheduled service visits.

Main Accumulation Area Management - Clean Harbors properly segregates all pharmaceutical waste to comply with appropriate DOT requirements, and packages the pharmaceutical waste products for transport.  All of the necessary regulatory documentation will be administrated by Clean Harbors.

Transportation & Disposal – Clean Harbors service vehicles pick up your pharmaceutical waste and transport it to company owned and operated facilities.
