Apologies for the cross-posting. I know we've probably covered this before, but I just can't put my hands on the information this morning
. A researcher is working with 3 antineoplastic drugs that are also considered hazardous materials/hazardous waste. Naturally, questions arise about disposal of clinical lab trash, animal and animal bits contaminated with these materials, animal bedding, etc. The 3 drugs are cytarabine, methotrexate, vincristine. Is disposal as hazardous waste appropriate or necessary? What about the medical waste potential? The haz waste folks won't take medical waste - the med waste folks won't take haz waste. Help!
