Stericycle provides pharmaceutical waste disposal services to a large variety of healthcare facilities. We help hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, pharmacy retailers, and medical or dental offices meet their regulatory and environmental obligations regarding proper pharmaceutical waste disposal.  Services are designed to help facilities characterize, segregate, transport and properly dispose of pharmaceutical waste.

Hospitals

For acute care facilities, our Stericycle Rx Waste Compliance service helps effectively manage hazardous and non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste disposal in compliance with federal regulations including EPA, DOT and OSHA rules.  It is a comprehensive program that covers formulary characterization, staff training, collection and packaging, documentation, and final destruction of Rx waste.  To learn more about our pharmaceutical waste services for hospitals, click here.

Medical and Dental Offices

Smaller medical facilities also generate pharmaceutical waste, especially expired pharmaceutical samples, yet often are uncertain about how to safely dispose of them.  We can help you manage this with a regulatory compliant solution for non-hazardous drug waste.  To learn more about our services for medical and dental offices and nursing homes, click here.
