Pharmaceutical Waste and Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal in Cleveland Defined

Most medicines have high concentrations, and those concentrations don’t degrade over time.  If they’re not disposed of properly, there’s a tremendous danger to employees and the environment.

Environmental Protection Agency and the State Health Department regulate expired pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical waste.  Some pharmaceutical items might help people but are hazardous to the environment.

Is my Pharmaceutical Waste Hazardous?

There are certain requirements that must be met for a pharmaceutical to be classified as hazardous waste:

  • The sole active ingredient in the pharmaceutical that needs to be disposed of is listed by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) as a hazardous waste.
  • It contains ingredient(s) that result in the pharmaceutical exhibiting characteristics of hazardous waste (ignitable, corrosive, reactive/explosive, or toxic/radioactive), which requires that it be treated as hazardous waste under RCRA.
  • The material is already regulated by your state environmental agency.
