Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal

A fully compliant service for the safe containment and licensed disposal of pharmaceutical waste, including patient-returned medicines, pharmaceutical products, and controlled drugs.

 

Pharmaceutical waste is a type of medical waste that includes: expired pharmaceutical stock, controlled drug destruction kits, cytotoxic and cytostatic waste, over-counter chemical products, recalled supplies, and patient-returned medicines. Because of the risks to people and the environment, pharmaceutical waste cannot be disposed of like a conventional waste. It requires special handling, containment, and licensed disposal, whether from a Hospital, doctor’s Surgery, Clinic, Nursing/Care Home, Laboratory, Pharmacy, or Drug Manufacturer. Chemicals in products like sunscreen, shampoos, and soaps can also cause environmental damage, especially when they are released on a large scale.
