Non-hazardous, RCRA hazardous, and DEA controlled-substance pharma streams. ≈55 minutes from our Baltimore hub — same-week pickup windows for Havre de Grace healthcare generators.
Pharmaceutical waste is one of the most heavily regulated streams in healthcare. We segregate non-hazardous (blue or white container), RCRA hazardous (black container), and DEA controlled-substance waste (using compliant on-site sequestration devices), then provide treatment by incineration at permitted facilities. EPA's Subpart P rule (40 CFR 266 Subpart P) applies to all healthcare facilities and reverse distributors.

The FDA flush list applies only to a small set of high-risk controlled substances when no take-back is available — not to a healthcare facility with a hauler.
Yes — Subpart P applies to all healthcare facilities and reverse distributors regardless of generator status, and replaces the old conditional exemption for hazardous waste pharmaceuticals.
