New York & 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 York, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) — which may be more stringent than the federal floor — and the New York 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 York: questions.
What is RCRA hazardous pharmaceutical waste in New York?
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 York, and serve New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Albany.
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 York 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 York program aligned to it.
Who regulates hazardous drug waste in New York?
The EPA under RCRA federally, plus New York'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.
