We Help Navigate Regulatory Complexities
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulates how drug waste is transported to waste management facilities. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enforces the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) that regulates the storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous pharmaceutical waste. Additionally, state authorities may enact state-specific laws related to hazardous waste and vary in their unique adoptions of EPA rules.
Stericycle helps organizations stay safe and compliant with innovative and easy to use pharmaceutical waste solutions and by providing:
- Online trainings, including required DOT trainings on Mystericycle.com
- Our EPA Knowledge Center to keep you informed of EPA regulations
- Ongoing, up-to-date educational resources to help keep you safe and compliant
