What Is Controlled (DEA) Waste?
Controlled substance waste includes pharmaceuticals defined by the Drug Enforcement Administration as substances that cause dependence or can be readily abused. These substances must be disposed of under DEA and EPA guidelines in Final Rule: Management Standards for Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals and within Final Rule: Disposal of Controlled Substances. Maine Labpack offers solutions for the secure destruction of controlled drugs, complete with all required paperwork.
