We Provide Proper Treatment for Trace Chemo WasteLike all medical waste, there are specific requirements, safety procedures and compliance requirements with Chemotherapy waste. Clinics, treatments centers, veterinarians and other healthcare providers, are required by law to ensure that any waste is disposed of properly.
Trace Chemotherapy wastes are characterized as a hazardous chemical waste by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and must be managed as biomedical waste. Trace chemotherapy waste is disposed of via incineration. Containers that hold trace chemotherapy waste that meets this definition should be labeled "RCRA empty" meaning only residual remaining/ less than 3% by weight. Items contaminated with trace chemo and RCRA-empty containers can be disposed as long as they are incinerated. They must be marked for incineration similar to other non RCRA pharmaceutical waste. By comparison sharps containers and other red bag bio-hazardous waste are managed as medical waste and treated by autoclave, which is not appropriate treatment for most pharmaceutical waste.
