Comprehensive Medical & Pharmaceutical Waste Solutions for Hospitals and Health Systems

Why Hospitals Need Scalable, Compliant Waste Solutions

Healthcare systems generate several regulated waste streams every day, including:

• Pharmaceutical waste: expired, damaged, or partially used drugs

• Controlled substances: Schedule I–V medications, including opioids, sedatives, and stimulants

• Sharps waste: syringes, IV catheters, and needles

• Biohazard waste: blood-soaked gauze, tubing, PPE

• Hazardous (RCRA) waste: P- and U-listed drugs, chemotherapy agents, solvents

Without proper handling, facilities face serious consequences:

• DEA citations for incorrect controlled substance destruction

• OSHA fines for sharps injuries or improper segregation

• EPA violations for mismanaged hazardous drugs

• HIPAA and accreditation risks from missing documentation or process gaps

Easy RX Cycle offers full-service solutions with audit-ready documentation, standardized protocols, and real-time compliance tracking.
