New York Pharmaceutical Disposal Services

Expired pharmaceuticals cannot just be thrown in the landfill. When they are not properly disposed of, they present a significant environmental risk since they do not naturally break down. Improper disposal methods, such as dumping them in landfills or flushing them down drains, lead to contamination of water supplies and the persistence of harmful chemicals in the environment. New Yorkers are prescribed tens of thousands of prescriptions every year, and not all of them are finished. Help us keep our communities safe by being responsible with expired medicines and drugs that are no longer being used. New York Medical Waste can help you find out more about pharmaceutical disposal services and create a plan for you or your business that is both compliant and affordable.

To safeguard communities and preserve local ecosystems, regulatory bodies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and State Health Departments have enacted stringent regulations that outline proper procedures for disposing of expired pharmaceuticals. These regulations aim to encourage the safe and responsible handling of pharmaceutical waste, minimizing its adverse effects on the environment and public health.
