Secure DEA-Compliant Waste Disposal for Correctional Facilities

Why DEA-Compliant Disposal Is Critical in Correctional Settings

Correctional institutions are uniquely vulnerable to:

• Diversion of controlled substances, especially Schedule II narcotics

• Improper destruction or transfer of expired medications

• DEA, EPA, and Board of Pharmacy citations

• Noncompliance with documentation, inventory logs, and chain of custody

Medications such as morphine, fentanyl, benzodiazepines, and antipsychotics are often stocked in infirmaries or segregation units. Once expired or partially used, these substances require documented and witnessed destruction.

Easy RX Cycle helps correctional facilities comply with:

• DEA Form 41 for non-recoverable controlled substance destruction

• DEA Form 222 for Schedule I–II transfers to registered reverse distributors

• Secure packaging, transport, and Certificates of Destruction
