<div>Just a reminder there are very few controlled substances that are haz waste, primarily chloral hydrate and testosterone gel. Some preservatives that get diluted out if used as IVs.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Donna and all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If there are hazardous waste controlled substances going into the SmartSink, then there are WI DNR/EPA regulatory issues. The resulting waste cartridges, which I believe Cactus takes as a reverse distributor,
would likely be considered hazardous waste and Cactus would need both hazardous materials endorsements on their trucks, but the waste would have to go to an EPA permitted facility.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Also, if HW, there may be “treatment in container” rules involved. Best to speak with your WI DNR rep.
