In the realm of chemotherapy treatments, concerns often arise not just around the medications themselves but also regarding the safe collection, segregation, and disposal of related materials. What happens to the tubing, needles, and packaging once treatment is complete? Understanding whether chemotherapy waste falls under hazardous waste or medical waste classification is vital. Let’s take a moment to clarify these industry definitions and guide you through effective segregation practices for chemotherapy waste in your facility.
Chemotherapy or trace chemotherapy waste is generated during the preparation and administration phases, and it’s essential to note that not all waste comes into direct contact with the chemotherapy drug. So how can we best segregate these various items?
Trace chemotherapy waste encompasses IV tubing, medicine bags, vials, and components of the tubing and needle system used to deliver chemotherapy to patients. Additionally, items like personal protective equipment (PPE), towels, wipes, and pads may have touched chemotherapy drugs, making their proper disposal crucial. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers chemotherapy waste hazardous and treats it as medical waste, often through incineration.
As a leading provider of hazardous waste services for healthcare facilities nationwide, we appreciate the complexities that hospitals and healthcare systems face regarding waste generation. Not only do many departments contribute to waste management, but each facility also deals with a range of services. In addition to commonly recognized waste, we carefully handle specialized materials including flammable liquids, xylene, formalin, aerosols, and universal waste.

As an industry leader, Secure Waste understands the importance of compliantly managing the collection, transportation, treatment, and appropriate disposal of various types of waste as required by regulations in your area.
Sharps waste should be disposed of in a designated sharps container, including needles, scalpels, blades, and pipettes that have been in contact with blood, body fluids, or microorganisms. These containers can be placed alongside biohazardous waste or in red bag waste to minimize the risk of needlestick injuries and ensure the safety of employees.
Pathological waste, including human and animal body parts, organs, tissues, and surgical specimens devoid of formaldehyde, formalin, or other preservatives, must be packaged separately in containers clearly labeled for incineration. We are ready to help you and your staff ensure the safe segregation, packaging, and disposal of your facility’s pathological waste. It’s essential to handle this waste responsibly.
Addressing chemotherapy waste is essential for ensuring a safe environment for patients and staff. This waste includes empty vials, syringes, needles, IV bags, and contaminated gloves. To protect health, it’s crucial to separate, package, and label this waste properly for disposal. By following regulations, we uphold safety standards and show our commitment to everyone’s well-being. Together, we can create a safer healthcare environment!
Medical waste generated from procedures, including any items saturated with human blood or other potentially infectious materials like bandages, gauze, and personal protective equipment (PPE), must be treated as regulated medical waste (RMW) or red bag waste. It is imperative that these items are disposed of properly in clearly marked hazardous waste disposal containers designated for biohazard pickup.
