Compliant Pharmaceutical & Medical Waste Disposal for Long-Term Care Facilities

Long-term care providers are entrusted with the ongoing medication management of vulnerable populations — making the proper disposal of expired medications, controlled substances, and medical waste absolutely essential. Easy RX Cycle delivers secure, compliant, and fully documented disposal services tailored for nursing homes, SNFs, rehabilitation centers, and assisted living communities. Whether your staff administers oral, topical, or injectable meds, we ensure your facility remains compliant with DEA, OSHA, EPA, DOT, and state regulations.

Why Waste Compliance Is Critical in LTC Settings

In long-term care, pharmaceuticals and sharps accumulate quickly:

Expired medications due to patient transfers, discharges, or death
Schedule II–V controlled substances administered for chronic pain, sedation, or behavioral health
Sharps waste from daily injections, blood sugar monitoring, and wound care
Biohazardous materials including PPE, wound dressings, and tubing

Improper disposal of these items can result in:

DEA violations for noncompliant controlled substance destruction
OSHA citations for sharps injuries or bloodborne pathogen exposure
EPA fines for improper pharmaceutical disposal
State surveys or accreditation failures due to missing documentation

Easy RX Cycle offers a complete solution — from DEA Form 41 support to mail-back kits and scheduled pickups — with compliance documentation included.
