Why Proper Pharmaceutical Destruction Matters
Improper disposal of pharmaceuticals poses serious risks to public health, the environment, and your organization’s regulatory standing. Medications flushed down drains contaminate water supplies. Expired drugs left in warehouses create liability. And improperly discarded controlled substances can be diverted for illicit use — exposing your company to DEA enforcement actions and criminal penalties.
The DEA requires that controlled substances be destroyed in compliance with 21 CFR 1317, which mandates proper chain of custody, witnessed destruction, and detailed record-keeping. The FDA also requires manufacturers and distributors to maintain documentation of pharmaceutical disposal for recalled or expired products. Non-compliance can result in fines, license revocation, and criminal prosecution.
NJ Shredding’s pharmaceutical destruction NJ services eliminate these risks by providing secure, documented, and environmentally responsible destruction of all pharmaceutical products — from over-the-counter medications to controlled substances, clinical trial materials, and recalled drugs.
