Clean Harbors Environmental Services
Clean Harbors provides comprehensive collection and disposal services for safe pharmaceutical waste management.
Pharmaceutical Waste Characterization - We provide a comprehensive review of hospital pharmacy products and compounded formulas. Our formulary characterization accurately determines EPA, RCRA, and DOT requirements for each National Drug Code (NDC) product. Pharmaceutical waste characterization is particularly critical for chemotherapy agents, U-listed and P-listed hazardous waste.
Satellite Accumulation Area Collection - Clean Harbors provides pharmaceutical waste collection container systems in the pharmacy and patient care areas. Disposable and reusable containers are used to properly separate pharmaceutical waste from biological or solid waste. Clean Harbors manages the collection and replacement of the pharmaceutical waste management containers on their scheduled service visits.
Main Accumulation Area Management - Clean Harbors properly segregates all pharmaceutical waste to comply with appropriate DOT requirements, and packages the pharmaceutical waste products for transport. All of the necessary regulatory documentation will be administrated by Clean Harbors.
Transportation & Disposal - Clean Harbors service vehicles pick up your pharmaceutical waste and transport it to company owned and operated facilities.
H1N1 Vaccine Incineration Services
Clean Harbors provides turnkey H1N1 Vaccination Incineration Services for healthcare facilities including hospitals, clinics, urgent care, and physicians’ offices. With a shelf life of 18 to 24 months, H1N1 vaccine inventories dated at the end of 2008 and early 2009 are now requiring proper disposal by incineration. Since outdated vaccines do not have value, they are not managed through Reverse Distributors.
