According to the CDPH, chemotherapy waste, or trace chemotherapeutic waste, is waste that is contaminated through contact with, or having previously contained, chemotherapeutic agents, including, but not limited to, gloves, disposable gowns, towels, and intravenous solution bags and attached tubing that are empty.
At Superb Medical Waste Disposal, we understand how important it is to handle and dispose of chemotherapy waste in compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. We offer a full chemotherapy waste removal service, which includes collection, transportation, and treatment of chemotherapy waste.
Nine chemotherapy drugs are listed and each are assigned an EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) waste code. These include:
Our chemotherapy waste disposal services cover a range of items, such as:
When chemo drug waste is categorized as a HWP by RCRA and contains more than 3% of the residual drug, it is considered "bulk chemo waste" and must be treated as hazardous waste. It should be disposed of in a black RCRA container.
However, if the container or waste item is "RCRA-empty" or contains only trace amounts of the chemotherapy or antineoplastic agent, it is classified as "trace chemo waste” which involves using a yellow container. If sharps waste is used in the administration of chemotherapy drugs, its should be further segregated into sharps containers specifically for trace chemotherapy waste.
