Supporting Compliant Chemo Waste Management

Chemotherapy treatments generate some of the most hazardous waste in healthcare. Even trace amounts of cytotoxic drugs can pose serious risks to staff and the environment, which is why proper disposal is not just best practice—it’s required by law.

Trace chemotherapy waste includes items that have come into contact with chemotherapy agents but are not fully saturated or bulk contaminated. This includes IV tubing, infusion bags, vials, syringes, and PPE used during preparation or administration. Because these items may still carry residual hazardous material, they must be handled and disposed of according to EPA, DOT, and state-specific regulations.

Waste Medic provides a clear, compliant path forward. We offer customized waste segregation solutions, including color-coded containers and correctly labeled collectors, to help your staff properly isolate trace chemo waste from other streams. Our goal is to make chemotherapy waste management as straightforward and risk-free as possible—so your team can focus on patient care.

Temperature control isn’t optional—it’s critical. When it comes to storing medical foods and temperature-sensitive supplies, even minor fluctuations can lead to compliance issues, wasted resources, or risks to patient safety. From proper labeling to regular monitoring, small steps make a big impact in healthcare and long-term care environments. Protect your patients, protect your facility, store smart. #MedicalCompliance #TemperatureMonitoring #HealthcareSafety #LongTermCare #MedicalStorage #PatientProtection #WasteMedic
