Denver Pharmaceutical Disposal Services

Expired pharmaceuticals present a significant environmental risk as they do not naturally break down. Improper disposal methods, such as dumping them in landfills or flushing them down drains, lead to contamination of water supplies and the persistence of harmful chemicals in the environment.

To safeguard communities and preserve local ecosystems, regulatory bodies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and State Health Departments have enacted stringent regulations that outline proper procedures for disposing of expired pharmaceuticals. These regulations aim to encourage the safe and responsible handling of pharmaceutical waste, minimizing its adverse effects on the environment and public health.
