Yellow-container service for trace-contaminated chemo PPE, IV bags, and tubing. ≈25 minutes from our Baltimore hub — same-week pickup windows for Glen Burnie healthcare generators.
Trace chemotherapy waste is generated whenever cytotoxic or antineoplastic drugs are administered. Yellow-container waste includes RCRA-empty IV bags and tubing, contaminated PPE, empty vials, gowns, gloves, and underpads. Bulk chemo (greater than 3% by weight residual drug) and any P-listed chemo agents must be managed as RCRA hazardous waste in black containers — see our hazardous waste service.

Yes. Arsenic trioxide is a P-listed RCRA hazardous waste under P012, and any container that held it must be triple-rinsed or managed as P-listed waste. Bulk cyclophosphamide is U058. Both require black-container hazardous waste service, not yellow chemo containers.
