Trace Chemotherapy Waste Disposal

Chemotherapy waste can be anything from IV tubing, medicine bags, vials to any part of the tubing and needle system that delivers the chemotherapy drug to a patient. However, personal protective equipment (PPE), towels, wipes and pads may also come in contact with chemotherapy drugs therefore proper disposal is mandated. According to EPA regulations, chemotherapy wastes are considered hazardous waste and are treated as medical waste through incineration.

The segregation process can be assisted by special containers that have been designed specifically for chemotherapy waste. For example: sharps used during administration of chemotherapy. In such cases not all sharps’ containers are meant to hold all types of sharp waste.

Medical Waste Disposal Dallas provides single-use or reusable chemotherapeutic collectors and various sizes sharp containers which helps separate chemo from other streams easily. Some may be used in small spaces while others serve large quantity generators but they should always have different colored tops indicating different streams of wastes.
