Frequently Asked Questions

Chemotherapy waste belongs in what color container?

The color of the container for Chemotherapy waste depends largely on whether it is "Trace" amounts or "Bulk" amounts of Chemotherapy waste. Trace amounts of chemotherapy drug residue, i.e. less than 3% of the original volume, should be disposed of in a yellow Chemotherapy container correctly labelled and approved for collection of chemotherapy substances. Bulk amounts of chemotherapy drugs, including half-empty IV bags, vials or syringes, must be disposed of in a black RCRA hazardous waste container.
