Secure, Compliant Waste Solutions for Surgery & Outpatient Centers

Why Surgical Centers Need Full-Spectrum Waste Disposal

Surgical environments generate complex medical and pharmaceutical waste, including:

• Controlled substances for sedation, anesthesia, and pain control

• Expired or returned medications from OR inventory

• Sharps waste (scalpels, sutures, syringes, IV catheters)

• Biohazardous material from procedures (PPE, dressings, canisters)

• RCRA hazardous waste from chemotherapy, P-listed meds, and anesthetics

Failure to properly dispose of these materials can lead to:

• DEA violations and Schedule II diversion risks

• OSHA infractions for sharps and bloodborne pathogen exposure

• DOT penalties for improper packaging or transport

• EPA fines for misclassified hazardous waste

• Accreditation issues with CMS, AAAHC, and The Joint Commission

Easy RX Cycle helps surgery centers implement compliant, trackable, and cost-effective disposal processes — from single-room centers to multi-specialty ASC campuses.
