RCRA Hazardous Waste Drugs
Subpart P applies to all hazardous waste pharmaceuticals, therefore, it makes sense to identify which drugs in your facility are considered hazardous and therefore have the potential to be HWP's. In addition, determinations should be made as to which drugs are considered DOT hazardous materials when shipping. PharmWaste Technologies would be happy to assist you with this task. See About PharmWaste.
