Proper disposal of pharmaceutical waste is critical. It is often classified as hazardous and poses threats to public safety, the environment, and your business. Several factors determine whether waste is considered hazardous. This includes regulations from your state’s environmental agency and the presence of active ingredients that are deemed hazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Moreover, waste that is corrosive, reactive, explosive, ignitable, toxic, or radioactive requires special handling. Understanding these criteria is vital for responsible waste management.
