Proper disposal of pharmaceutical waste  is critical, as it is often classified as hazardous, posing risks to public safety, the environment, and your business. Several factors determine whether waste qualifies as hazardous. It may be regulated by your state’s environmental agency or contain active ingredients listed as hazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Additionally, if the waste is corrosive, reactive, explosive, ignitable, toxic, or radioactive, it requires special handling. Understanding these criteria is essential for responsible waste management.

3) Its material contains ingredient(s) that result in the pharmaceutical exhibiting characteristics of hazardous waste (corrosive, reactive/explosive, ignitable, or toxic/radioactive).
