MEDICAL WASTE DISPOSAL GUIDELINES
The Pharmacia de Medicina will dispose its wastes in accordance with the “Medical
Waste Management Act”. The Medical Waste Management Act defines “medical waste” as
biohazardous or sharps waste and waste which is generated or produced as a result of the
diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of human beings/animals.
The pharmacy will use a red biohazard bag for its medical wastes and to be labeled with
the words “Biohazardous Waste” or with the international biohazard symbol and the word
“BIOHAZARD’ for the proper treatment and management by the personnel or the collector of
the said waste.”
The personnel and staffs of the business will use the guidelines for proper handling and
storage of medical wastes. The following guidelines will be followed:
1. Tie red biohazard bags to prevent leakage or expulsion of contents during future storage,
handling, or transport.
2. Place red biohazard bags for storage, handling, or transport in a rigid secondary container.
3. Rigid secondary containers must be leak resistant, have tight fitting covers and be kept clean
and in good repair. Containers may be any color and labeled with the words “Biohazardous
Waste” or the international biohazard symbol and the word “BIOHAZARD” on the lid and on
the sides so as to be visible from any lateral direction.
On medical waste segregation the Pharmacia de Medicina will separate all medical waste
from other waste at the point of origin. In terms of the medical waste treatment and disposal, the
Medical wastes were being treated in one of the following ways:

1. Steam sterilized (autoclaved) at an approved autoclave facility, then disposed of as non-
regulated solid waste.
2. Picked up by an approved vendor and treated outside the campus.
3. Discharged to a public sewage system if the waste is liquid or semi-liquid (i.e., human blood,
body fluids, and biological solutions) and has been chemically decontaminated (such as use of
chlorine compounds, quaternary ammonium compounds, phenolic compounds, etc.).
4. Recognizable human anatomical remains must be disposed by incineration or interment unless
otherwise hazardous.
Pharmaceutical Waste
1. Pharmaceutical Waste (non controlled substances) may be disposed of by placing the material
in a cardboard box (no larger than 12in x 12in x 12in). The box must be securely taped shut and
labeled “Pharmaceutical Waste”. Arrangements can be made to bring it to the Student Health
Pharmacy. Pharmaceutical waste that is a controlled substance must be returned to the Student
Health Pharmacy.
2. A copy of the proof of use log must accompany the controlled substance to the Student Health
Pharmacy. Materiel Management arranges for both non-controlled and controlled substance
waste to be picked up and disposed of by an outside vendor. Authorized personnel must transport
controlled substances.
