How Our Waste Disposal Process Works in Arkansas

Managing medical and pharmaceutical waste shouldn't be confusing or time-consuming. At Easy Rx Cycle, we've built a seamless process for healthcare facilities across Arkansas that ensures full compliance with DEA, EPA, DOT, OSHA, and ADEM regulations — with none of the administrative hassle.

1. Schedule Your Pickup or Choose a Mail-Back Program

Start by requesting a quote or contacting our team. We'll assess your:

• Waste volume and type (e.g., pharmaceuticals, sharps, chemo, biohazards)

• Facility classification (hospital, clinic, LTC, pharmacy, etc.)

• Preferred service method (recurring pickup or prepaid mail-back)

We customize a program that meets your schedule, budget, and compliance needs.

2. Receive DOT-Approved, OSHA-Compliant Containers

Once your plan is in place, we’ll deliver the right containers directly to your location. These include:

• Puncture-proof sharps containers with secure lids

• Color-coded pharmaceutical waste bins (haz vs. non-haz)

• Biohazard and red bag containers

• All packaging includes proper labels, instructions, and usage guidance

Need help training staff on use? We provide that too.

3. Waste Pickup or Mail-Back Shipping

Depending on your program:

• Our licensed, ADEM-compliant haulers arrive on a scheduled route for direct pickup

• OR you return containers via prepaid mail-back kits through USPS or UPS
  Every shipment is tracked, logged, and secured during transit — from cradle to grave.

4. Waste Destruction and Full Documentation

Your waste is destroyed at an approved treatment or incineration facility under strict regulatory standards. We then provide:

• Certificate of Destruction

• Waste Manifest with EPA/RCRA codes

• DEA Schedule tracking (if controlled substances involved)
  This documentation satisfies ADEM, DEA, EPA, and OSHA audit requirements.

5. Ongoing Compliance, Reports & Support

Our relationship doesn’t end with disposal. We offer:

• Monthly reporting on volumes, pickup logs, and waste stream breakdowns

• Regulatory audit prep support (for DEA, Joint Commission, or OSHA visits)

• Responsive, local customer service based in Arkansas

• Optional add-ons like staff training, onboarding for new locations, and multi-site management

Whether you’re a small dental clinic, a compounding pharmacy, or a regional hospital system — Easy Rx Cycle ensures your waste disposal process is compliant, documented, and completely handled.

What types of healthcare waste can Easy Rx Cycle dispose of in Arkansas?

We provide compliant disposal for pharmaceutical waste, hazardous waste, sharps, chemotherapy drugs, biohazardous materials, expired medications, and DEA-controlled substances. We support all regulated waste streams generated by healthcare facilities in Arkansas.

Is Easy Rx Cycle licensed to pick up medical and pharmaceutical waste in Arkansas?

Yes. Easy Rx Cycle operates in full compliance and is licensed to transport and manage medical and pharmaceutical waste across the state. All pickups are fully manifested and documented.

Do I need separate containers for sharps and pharmaceutical waste?

Yes. Sharps must be stored in OSHA-compliant, puncture-proof containers, while pharmaceutical waste must be segregated based on hazardous classification. We provide clearly labeled, compliant containers for both waste streams.

Can I use a mail-back program instead of pickup service in Arkansas?

Absolutely. Our DOT-approved mail-back kits are ideal for clinics, pharmacies, dental offices, and remote facilities that generate lower volumes of sharps or pharmaceutical waste. Each kit includes prepaid shipping and destruction documentation.

Yes. We offer solutions for Schedule II–V controlled substances, including on-site chemical neutralization and reverse distribution for expired or unused narcotics. All disposal follows DEA, EPA, and state guidelines.

How often should my facility schedule medical waste pickups?

Pickup frequency depends on your waste volume and risk category. Most facilities schedule pickups weekly, biweekly, or monthly. We’ll help assess your needs and create a compliant, cost-effective pickup plan.

What documentation do we receive after a pickup?

You’ll receive a waste manifest, a Certificate of Destruction, and full cradle-to-grave tracking. These documents are essential for OSHA audits, DEA inspections, and state health compliance.
