EPA Proposes New Rules for Better Disposal of Pharmaceutical Wastes
- "The EPA is proposing to add hazardous pharmaceutical wastes to the Universal Waste Rule in order to provide a system for disposing hazardous pharmaceutical wastes that is protective of public health and the environment. ...The rule encourages generators to dispose of non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste as universal waste, thereby removing this unregulated waste from wastewater treatment plants and municipal solid waste landfills." - excerpt from this U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) web page.
