have found that around 4% of an inpatient pharmacy’s formulary is RCRA waste,
when discarded. Not all of those items are used by households.
However, let’s not forget about the BMP (Best Management Practices)
waste. Think of all the chemo drugs alone that would be classified as
RCRA waste if RCRA was updated. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

(including Pennsylvania) do not apply the household haz waste exemption to
waste that is brought back together into one location such as at a
collection event. The pharmaceutical collection events that have been
held in PA have required compliance with PA's hazardous waste regulations as
though the waste had not been household waste. There may be other
states that also do not keep the household waste exemption when household
haz waste is collected. </SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN
