Stericycle provides pharmaceutical waste disposal services to hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, pharmacy retailers, private practice physicians, and other healthcare facilities.  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 Hospital Rx waste.

Private Practice Medical Offices

Single-site and independently owned 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.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturers

Strong Pharmaceutical Services™, a Stericycle company, provides turnkey hazardous, non-hazardous and controlled substance waste management for national and international pharmaceutical manufacturers.   We also provide witnessed destruction and world-class security in transport of your pharmaceutical wastes.  

Pharmacies

Stericycle's StrongPak™ service offers retailers a turnkey retail pharmaceutical waste compliance program as an add-on to our retail hazardous waste services. StrongPak currently accepts all non-DEA controlled pharmaceutical waste (both hazardous and non-hazardous) generated at retail facilities and pharmacies. StrongPak is a DEA reverse distribution registrant, and can implement a plan to manage your Controlled Substance wastes, in conjunction with providing StrongPak services for all other waste.
