The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulates certain chemicals by requiring strict tracking from the time of manufacture to the time of dispensation to the consumer. They are called Controlled Substances and can be found in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) section 1300. These chemicals are divided into several lists, detailed in the regulations as Schedule I, II, III, IV and V. Controlled Substances can range from nonhazardous materials to RCRA hazardous wastes.
Veolia Environmental Services is registered with the DEA as a Reverse Distributor, giving us authorization to take possession of Controlled Substances and destroy them at our incineration facilities. As an experienced provider of hazardous waste services, Veolia Environmental Services has the resources to manage disposal of all types of controlled substances, including mixed DEA/RCRA waste.
Whether you have large quantities of returned goods or a small amount of lab chemicals, Veolia Environmental Services can accommodate your needs and assure regulatory compliance. Once you provide a copy of your registration and the types and amounts of waste to be destroyed, we will complete all required forms, take possession of the Controlled Substance and witness the destruction on your behalf. Our incineration facilities and our transportation vehicles are owned and operated by Veolia Environmental Services, insuring secure packaging, transportation, and destruction for Controlled Substances.
Veolia Environmental Services technical representatives are thoroughly trained in safety and environmental regulations and are ready to assist you in any way.
