How to Dispose of Pharmaceutical Waste

Proper disposal of pharmaceutical waste is crucial to protect public health and the environment and comply with regulations.

Classify your waste : Identify and classify all pharmaceutical waste you have on-site, such as expired medications, controlled substances and any packaging or items contaminated by them.

Store safely and securely : Store all pharmaceutical waste in a secure, locked area away from heat and direct sunlight. Use appropriate bags, containers or bins to prevent leakage or spills and keep separate from other waste to avoid cross-contamination.

Arrange authorised collection : Use a licensed waste disposal company registered and equipped to handle and dispose of pharmaceutical waste. Ensure they comply with industry regulations and standards.

Stay up to date : Regularly review and update your waste disposal procedures and ensure they align with the latest regulations and best practices.

Consult with experts : Reach out to waste management experts for guidance and advice on proper disposal and storage practices.

Complete required documentation : Fill out all necessary paperwork including waste container labels and waste transfer notes to maintain compliance throughout the disposal process.
