Pharmaceutical Waste Management

Clean Harbors provides comprehensive collection and disposal services for safely managing pharmaceutical waste.

Rx 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.  Waste characterization is particularly critical for chemotherapy agents, U-listed and P-listed hazardous waste.

Satellite Accumulation Area Collection – Clean Harbors provides Rx 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 Rx waste 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 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 waste and transport it to company owned and operated facilities.
