On-Site Pickup for Controlled & Non-Controlled Substance Waste Disposal

Why Pickup Disposal Services Are Essential

Facilities that store or dispense large volumes of medications face serious regulatory and operational risks:

• Controlled substances (Schedule I–V) require DEA Form 41 documentation and secure, witnessed destruction

• Non-controlled medications, while not DEA-regulated, must still be disposed of in accordance with EPA, DOT, and state regulations

• On-site accumulation of expired or damaged drugs increases diversion risk, noncompliance, and civil liability

Easy RX Cycle’s pickup program provides a chain-of-custody-secured, fully documented, and professionally managed pharmaceutical waste removal service — so you never have to second-guess compliance.

What We Pick Up & Dispose Of

We provide pickup and compliant destruction of:

Controlled Substances (Schedule I–V)

• Expired or unused Schedule II opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants

• Partial containers, damaged packaging, returned meds

• DEA Form 41-required substances

• Controlled substances awaiting reverse distribution or inventory purge

Non-Controlled Substances

• Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs

• Non-scheduled prescription medications

• Expired compounded or repackaged items

• Partially used vials, ampoules, syringes, or oral liquids

We also support dual-stream pickups where controlled and non-controlled substances are separated but managed in the same scheduled service.
