New Jersey & federal RCRA rules, handled.
Some drugs are also hazardous waste under the EPA's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA, 40 CFR). They fall on the P-list (acutely hazardous), U-list, or exhibit a characteristic (ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic — the D-codes). Healthcare facilities manage them under the Subpart P standard for hazardous waste pharmaceuticals. In New Jersey, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) — which may be more stringent than the federal floor — and the New Jersey Board of Pharmacy add requirements. Easy Rx Cycle identifies, segregates, manifests, and destroys each hazardous drug correctly, documented on every order.

RCRA Hazardous Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal in New Jersey: questions.
What is RCRA hazardous pharmaceutical waste in New Jersey?
Drugs that are also hazardous waste under EPA rules — P-listed (acutely hazardous), U-listed, or characteristic (ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic). Common examples include warfarin, nicotine products, and certain chemo drugs. We manage them under Subpart P across New Jersey, and serve Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Trenton.
What's the difference between P-, U-, and D-listed drugs?
P-listed drugs are acutely hazardous (strictest handling), U-listed are hazardous but non-acute, and D-listed (D-codes) exhibit a characteristic like toxicity or ignitability. Each has specific New Jersey handling and documentation — our guide breaks them down.
What is the Subpart P standard?
40 CFR Part 266 Subpart P is the EPA's management standard for hazardous waste pharmaceuticals at healthcare facilities and reverse distributors. It sets how these drugs are accumulated, labeled, and shipped. We keep your New Jersey program aligned to it.
Who regulates hazardous drug waste in New Jersey?
The EPA under RCRA federally, plus New Jersey's state environmental agency — which is often stricter than the federal floor — and the Board of Pharmacy. The DOT governs transport. We handle disposal and the manifest to all of them.
