It is the responsibility of each distributor, reverse distributor, facility and end user to meet the guidelines of their facility, local, state, tribal and federal regulatory agencies for proper drug disposal. We offer the following resources for education and links to various regulatory agencies and organizations that address pharmaceutical waste disposal.
DEA 21 CFR Compliance for Medication Disposal
The Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA, under the Department of Justice, outlines the rules to govern the secure disposal of controlled substances by registrants and ultimate users in 21 CFR Parts 1300, 1301, 1304, 1305,1307, and 1317, effective September 9, 2014. These regulations implement the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010 by expanding the available options for collecting and disposing of controlled substances, allowing public and private entities to develop a variety of destruction methods which are convenient, secure and responsible to prevent drug diversion. Once a controlled substance has met the standard of ‘‘non-retrievable’’, it now meets the requirements of the DEA compliant medication disposal.
21 CFR 1300 includes 1300.01, definitions relating to controlled substances and 1300.05, definitions relating to the disposal of controlled substances. This final ruling implements a standard for destruction, non-retrievable, and the procedures for the destruction of controlled substances. 21 CFR 1317 covers the disposal of controlled substances including 1317.90, Methods of Destruction and 1317.95, Destruction Procedures.
21 CFR 1317.19, Incineration and Chemical Digestion Destruction Methods, see page 53548: The DEA is specifying a required result, non-retrievable, rather than a required method for achieving that result. The DEA does not require a particular method of destruction as long as the desired result is achieved.Rx Destroyer™ can help you decipher the key aspects of 21 CFR DEA compliant medication disposal.

EPA 40 CFR Regulations Protection of Environment
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, RCRA, regulates the storage, treatment, transportation, generation and disposal of hazardous waste and gives the EPA authority to control hazardous waste from “cradle to grave”. This includes pharmaceuticals deemed as hazardous waste, outlined in 40 CFR Regulations, parts 261, 262, 264, 265, 266, 268, 270, and 273, the Management Standards for Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals and Amendment to the P075 Listing for Nicotine.
This final ruling adds regulations for pharmaceutical waste disposal by healthcare facilities and reverse distributors. Healthcare facilities, including animal clinics, and reverse distributors must manage their hazardous pharmaceutical waste under these new sets of standards. States may operate under their own hazardous waste program, although it must be at least as stringent as federal regulations.
This final ruling in 40 CFR eliminates the dual regulation of RCRA hazardous pharmaceutical waste which is also a DEA controlled substance. New DEA compliant medication disposal requirements prohibit disposing of pharmaceutical hazardous waste down the drain. Rx Destroyer™ can help you decipher the regulations applicable to your state as we work together to prevent water contamination and drug diversion.
