Medical Waste Generated by Pharmacies in Shannon
Pharmacies in Shannon manage a unique mix of regulated waste, primarily expired or unwanted pharmaceuticals including RCRA-listed hazardous drugs that cannot be flushed or landfilled. Controlled substance returns must be handled through DEA-compliant destruction processes. Pharmacies operating in-store sharps disposal programs also accumulate sharps waste from community members that must be collected by a licensed waste hauler.
Compliance Requirements for Pharmacies in IL
Pharmacies in IL must comply with OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), which mandates proper containment, labeling, and disposal of all regulated medical waste.
