Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal in Florida
Florida Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal Services
SaniTrax offers turn-key solutions that assure proper classification and pharmaceutical waste disposal in Florida. We provide comprehensive drug waste management services throughout South Florida, Central Florida, and North Florida, serving healthcare facilities in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Lakeland.
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 pharmaceutical formulary characterization of your entire pharmaceutical formulary, a labeling system, staff training programs, an accumulation area setup, and ongoing consultation services.
We offer comprehensive pharmaceutical 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 with DEA-compliant drug disposal methods. We offer products that ensure the designated waste cannot be retrieved or recovered from the container solutions provided. Our controlled substance disposal services are available throughout Florida, including pharmaceutical waste disposal in West Palm Beach, Tampa, and Orlando.

Mailback Program for Pharmaceutical Waste
This service is for very small quantity generators (VSQG) of hazardous pharmaceutical waste. We offer 2.5- & 5-gallon containers for our customers in states that have adopted the EPA Subpart P regulations. The containers are specifically designed for the safe and assured disposal of pharmaceutical waste while ensuring the waste is destroyed via incineration. This offers a simple solution to a complicated waste stream for most generators.
Our Mailback Solutions for pharmaceutical waste make it easy to dispose of your hazardous compatible pharmaceutical waste. This pharmaceutical waste mailback program offers a comprehensive solution for small generators of hazardous pharmaceutical waste and provides regulatory relief!
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 pharmaceutical formulary characterization is complete, we review the characterization with the facility to determine which waste pharmaceuticals are considered non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste and which are compatible with hazardous waste. We then tour the facility to determine the points of generation within it so we can place the right containers in the right places for the staff. Our hospital pharmaceutical waste management services extend across Florida, including pharmaceutical disposal services in Gainesville, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater.
Step 3: Containers
We have a variety of containers for RCRA hazardous pharmaceutical waste, non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste, and controlled substances. We have both disposable and reusable containers. We provide simple, cost-effective, and compliant solutions for our customers. We determine the containers based on the characterization of the formulary and the waste generation in the facility.

For smaller waste generators, we offer a fully compliant pharmaceutical waste mailback program for all pharmaceutical waste streams. This provides a simple solution for very small quantity generators and regulatory relief. It is a great option for Florida generators since it meets the EPA Subpart P requirements.
