Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal in Florida

SaniTrax offers turn-key solutions that assure proper classification and pharmaceutical waste disposal in Florida.

Hospitals and clinics generate a substantial amount of pharmaceutical waste that requires proper disposal. Typically, this waste is comprised of drugs that have been partially dispensed but not completely used. Our Pharmaceutical Waste Compliance Program is a hospital-wide program that will minimize environmental impact and regulatory exposure from improper identification, segregation, collection, and disposal of pharmaceutical waste.

Because each facility is unique in layout and mission, we take a strategic and customized approach when developing and implementing a pharmaceutical waste program. Our program includes a waste characterization of your entire pharmaceutical formulary, a labeling system, staff training programs, accumulation area setup, and ongoing consultation services.

We offer comprehensive drug waste management services, no matter the size of your facility!

Controlled Substances

The DEA classifies certain pharmaceuticals as controlled substances. These items should be managed carefully and disposed of, ensuring they will not impact the environment or be recovered from the waste disposal. SaniTrax offers multiple solutions for managing this highly regulated waste stream. We offer products that ensure the designated waste can not be retrieved nor recovered from the container solutions provided. Contact us today to discuss our options for your facility!

Step 1: Formulary Review

Our Rx program begins with working closely with the pharmacy. We will take your latest formulary in Excel format and characterize each medication in terms of how it should be disposed of. The purpose of the characterization is to ensure that the proper disposal method complies with both EPA and DOT regulations. This is a very important step in identifying not only what waste streams are hazardous but also those that are incompatible and those that are controlled substances. We have the team to help our customers get a complete view of their pharmaceutical waste and develop a plan to characterize the various wastes properly.

Step 2: Facility Review

Once the formulary characterization is complete, we review the characterization with the facility to determine which waste pharmaceuticals are considered non-hazardous and which are compatible with hazardous waste. We then tour the facility to determine the points of generation within the facility to determine containers and placement to ensure the staff has adequate and properly placed containers.
