Secure & Compliant Medicial and Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal for Veteran Affairs Facilities

Why Waste Compliance Is Vital for VA Medical Facilities

VA facilities handle a unique combination of:

• Schedule II–V controlled substances, including opioids and sedatives

• Expired or unused pharmaceuticals from clinics and inpatient settings

• Sharps waste from wound care, injections, and blood draws

• RCRA hazardous waste, including P-listed chemo agents and solvents

• Biohazardous and infectious waste from surgery, primary care, and long-term support services

Improper handling or documentation can result in:

• DEA citations for controlled substance mismanagement

• EPA violations for improper hazardous waste disposal

• OSHA fines for sharps and BBP compliance breaches

• Disruptions in VA federal contract compliance and audits

Easy RX Cycle provides federal-ready waste services with complete documentation for compliance with DEA, EPA, OSHA, VA environmental programs, and Joint Commission accreditation standards.
