Hospitals generate a substantial amount of pharmaceutical waste -- some hazardous, some non-hazardous that requires proper disposal. Generally, this waste is composed of pharmaceuticals that have been partially dispensed, but not completely used. Our Stericycle Rx Waste Compliance services are designed to help hospitals characterize, segregate, transport and properly dispose of drug waste.

The focus of our program is on helping you achieve and maintain both EPA and DOT compliance, while reducing the risk associated with handling dangerous compounds. The program includes:

• Waste characterization and identification for EPA & DOT
• Containers for the facility-wide segragation and collection of Rx waste
• Packaging, labeling, shipping and disposal
• Tranining programs and materials for your staff
• Ongoing support

Benefits to the hospital include:

• Reduced risk associated with hazardous pharmaceuticals
• Helps you meet Joint Commission standards such as Leadership, Environment of Care, and Medication Management
• Helps keep you in compliance with EPA & DOT regulations
• A complete turn-key solution.
