    Medical & Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal for Correctional Pharmacies

    EasyRxCycle provides correctional pharmacies with secure, compliant disposal of pharmaceutical and medical waste. From controlled substances to sharps and expired medications, our services ensure DEA, EPA, and institutional compliance—supporting the safety and security of correctional healthcare.

    Why Correctional Pharmacies Need Specialized Waste Solutions

    High Security and Restricted Access

    Correctional pharmacies operate under strict security measures and require a waste partner familiar with institutional protocols:

    • Pre-screened drivers and secure pickup procedures

    • Coordination with facility security and healthcare staff

    • Compliance with entry/exit controls and ID protocols

    DEA and State Compliance Requirements

    Correctional facilities handle high volumes of controlled substances and must maintain tight regulatory compliance. Easy RX Cycle supports:

    • DEA-registered collection and reverse distribution

    • Form 222 and Form 41 documentation workflows

    • EPA and DOT-compliant transport of hazardous materials
