A strong pharmaceutical waste program needs options that match the waste type, the generator profile, and the compliance obligation. Sharps supports both inventory and patient/consumer take-back needs through solutions that scale across facility types and volumes. Some organizations need scheduled service with centralized oversight. Others need serialized mailback systems that deliver control without the overhead of routine pickups. Many need both.
Pharmaceutical waste includes controlled and non-controlled substances, hazardous and non-hazardous items, partials and returns, and medications that must be managed with precision to protect staff, patients, licenses, and communities.
Sharps Medical Waste Services designs pharmaceutical waste programs that exceed regulatory standards and day-to-day workflow. Our executive leadership team and compliance professionals bring deep experience across healthcare operations, regulated logistics, and downstream treatment, so your program is built to reduce risk without creating friction for your teams.
Whether you manage a single location, a multi-site enterprise, a retail pharmacy network, a clinical trial footprint, or a pharmaceutical supply chain environment, we help you implement a clear, defensible process for secure containment, documented transport, and verified destruction.

TakeAway Medication Recovery DEA Reverse Distribution for Registrants (Inventory Only)
Sharps Medical Waste Services provides DEA registrants with an affordable reverse distribution option for unused or expired controlled substances from inventory. The TakeAway Medication Recovery mailback program is designed to meet DEA requirements for collection, record-keeping, transportation, and destruction of Schedule II–V pharmaceuticals. This solution is intended for registrant inventory and is not designed for ultimate-user medications, hazardous waste pharmaceuticals, or biohazardous waste streams. If you have overlapping needs across waste streams, we will help you structure a program that keeps each category correctly managed and clearly documented.
Medication waste that is non-controlled and non-hazardous still carries real risk when it is handled casually. When medications enter landfills or waterways, the impact extends beyond the facility. Since 2009, Sharps MWS has collected and treated more than 11.6 million pounds of unused medications, helping prevent pharmaceutical waste from entering the environment and water supply. TakeAway Environmental Return Systems are designed for the collection, transportation, and destruction of a wide range of non-controlled, non-hazardous medications, from clinical samples to many over-the-counter products. Each system includes clear instructions, compliant packaging, and prepaid return shipping to make the process straightforward for staff and consistent across locations.
RCRA Program Support and Waste Determination
Hazardous waste pharmaceuticals require disciplined identification and handling, and the rules are not optional. Sharps supports organizations that need help clarifying waste determinations and building a program that aligns storage, labeling, transport, and treatment to the applicable regulatory requirements. Our team can assist with waste characterization and program design so you have a defensible approach from containment through final treatment. If your pharmaceutical waste stream includes multiple categories, we help you separate them cleanly and manage each correctly, so you are not relying on guesswork at the point of disposal.
TakeAway Medication Recovery Systems
Community take-back and patient disposal programs need to be secure, simple to use, and compliant by design. TakeAway Medication Recovery Systems supports ultimate users who need a safe way to dispose of unused or expired medications, including controlled substances, from the privacy of home. These pre-addressed, prepaid mailback envelopes can be sold in retail settings or distributed by qualified organizations supporting public health initiatives, long-term care, or community programs.
Very professional staff!
Professional and pleasant!
Very professional and timely when picking up our medical waste from the funeral home. Calls to confirm we have waste for pickup so they do not make an unnecessary trip out.
Jeremy was fantastic! He helped me get my account set up quickly and efficiently and took the time to answer all of my questions. I really appreciated how smooth and easy he made the process.
Collin and his team have gone above and beyond to take care of us. We appreciate you all very much. We highly recommend Sharps!
Inside Sales Specialist Jeremy Fleming is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!! If it wasn’t for him, I don’t know if I would have services registered. He is so easy accessible, helpful, knowledgeable, and thorough! Everything just runs smooth and correct once he is involved. So thank you for making our services run the right way for our clients.
excellent service!!!
Great and problem was solved immediately
Sharps Medical Waste Services as been a great partner of ours and has been providing great customer service to our nationwide customers.
Been having issues with Dupixent sending me wrong sharps containers to disposal of pens. Ended up working with Andrea Juarez who was FANTASTIC !!!!!!! She could not have been more helpful in taking ownership of my issue regarding attempting to get OPTUM pharmacy to send me the correct containers. She explained she will speak to the folks over at Client Services or something at OPTUM to see about shipping me the correct container – ?SKU#: 11000 immediately for NY, and ensure that when I change deliveries to my vacation home in Florida, that the correct Sharps container will be shipped there, also. She told me to expect a call from her after this weekend with the results of her conversation with the fulfillment folks. I fully anticipate to hear back from her after the weekend. Again, I cannot emphasize strongly what an asset she is to your organization!!!
When you are ready, we will help you select the right combination of mailback, pickup, reverse distribution, and take-back solutions based on your waste types, locations, and oversight needs.
