Disposal of medical waste from pharmacies

The facility selling drugs and pharmaceuticals is obliged to neutralize all chemicals that are generated during the production of medicinal preparations. Appropriate disposal of medical waste from pharmacies also applies to expired or withdrawn pharmacological agents. Improper storage, receipt, transport or neutralization of this type of substances may cause serious environmental pollution and pose a threat to people.

Bearing in mind the above, we have prepared an attractive proposal for cooperation for pharmacies from all over the country. We deal with collection, transport and disposal of medical waste most often produced in this type of health care facilities, such as: cytotoxic and cytostatic drugs, cytotoxic and cytostatic drugs selectively collected, other drugs. We provide professional and timely disposal and disposal services.
