Hazardous Waste Disposal for Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Facilities

What Qualifies as Hazardous Pharmaceutical Waste?

Hazardous pharmaceutical waste includes drugs and materials classified as:

• P-listed waste (e.g., warfarin, nicotine, epinephrine)

• U-listed waste (e.g., chemotherapy drugs, solvents)

• D-listed waste (characteristic hazardous substances)

• Bulk chemotherapy waste

• Oxidizers, aerosols, flammables, and corrosives

• Damaged, recalled, or spilled hazardous medications

If it's ignitable, reactive, toxic, corrosive, or listed by the EPA, it must be segregated, labeled, and destroyed under RCRA Subtitle C.
