Hazardous Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal

Why do we care about pharmaceutical waste? -To protect humans and the environment-increasing evidence of harm from even very small amounts of some pharmaceuticals, particularly in fetal and newborn development -To be a good citizen/steward -To comply with our Code of Conduct and other applicable regulations -To avoid fines and imprisonment

Improper pharmaceutical disposal Avoid landfilling Landfills often leak over time and pharmaceuticals can enter groundwater Avoid drain disposal Many pharmaceuticals are not removed in water treatment processes Some of these persist in the environment –many are designed to not degrade
