<P><FONT SIZE=2>Good question Rachel.<BR>

If it meets the definition of an EPA hazardous waste (listed or characteristic) it's regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), except Florida and Michigan who already have a UPW program. If it's not, then it's a non-hazardous waste. Non-haz pharmaceuticals generally wind up being handled as regulated medical waste, though I have yet to see any regulation which specifically puts it in that category, at least in Florida. Hopefully someone on this listserve can clarify that.<BR>

I believe (and I could be wrong) that household pharmaceutical waste is state specific and goes largely un-managed, which is the focus of the EPA's agenda.</FONT></P>
