1) The material is already regulated by your state environmental agency.

2) The sole active ingredient in the material is listed as hazardous by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

3) Its material contains ingredient(s) that result in the pharmaceutical exhibiting characteristics of hazardous waste (corrosive, reactive/explosive, ignitable, or toxic/radioactive).

If your pharmaceutical waste falls into any of the mentioned categories, it is considered hazardous waste and necessitates specialized handling.
