Biogenic Solutions provides USP 800 and RCRA-compliant chemotherapy waste disposal across Texas and Oklahoma. From trace to bulk chemo waste, our secure containers, reliable fleet pickups, and detailed compliance documentation help healthcare facilities meet TCEQ and federal regulations while safeguarding staff, patients, and the environment.
Chemotherapy waste, which is generated from various cancer treatments, is categorized into two distinct classifications: trace waste and bulk waste, based on the levels of residue present. Trace waste has ≤3% residue in items like vials and PPE, while bulk waste exceeds 3% and requires strict handling. Proper management of both types is important in healthcare settings.
Improper handling of chemotherapy waste puts healthcare facilities at significant risk of staff exposure to hazardous drugs, regulatory fines, and failed inspections. Under Section 17(a) of the OSHA Act, willful safety violations may result in civil penalties of up to $70,000 per incident. Partnering with a provider who ensures USP <800>, RCRA, and OSHA compliance is essential to protect your staff, patients, and reputation.

Trace chemotherapy waste refers to items used in administering chemotherapy drugs with a residue of less than or equal to 3%, such as IV bags, vials, or PPE. In contrast, bulk chemotherapy wastes are hazardous materials that contain more than 3% of the chemotherapy drug. Both require proper chemotherapy waste containers or bins for USP <800> compliance and RCRA hazardous waste disposal.
Trace chemotherapy waste is placed in yellow chemotherapy waste containers or bins. Bulk chemotherapy waste, which is RCRA hazardous waste, must go in black RCRA drums or UN-rated chemo containers for DOT-compliant cytotoxic waste disposal in hospitals, infusion centers, and outpatient clinics.

Yes. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) specifically lists nine chemotherapy drugs as hazardous waste:
These must be managed as bulk chemotherapy waste in black RCRA drums or UN-rated chemotherapy waste containers to ensure USP <800> and DOT compliance.
No. Trace chemotherapy waste must be kept separate from other waste streams, such as infectious or regular medical waste. If mixed, the entire stream is treated as trace chemotherapy waste and incinerated. Facilities should use yellow chemotherapy waste containers or bins for compliant cytotoxic waste disposal.
