Why it matters

Why pharmaceutical waste requires controlled collection

Controlled removal keeps expired stock off shelves and out of reach.

Reduces incorrect disposal

A defined route means medicines don't end up in general waste.

Supports safer stock-clearance

Structured schedules support quarterly and annual stock reviews.

Protects workplace storage areas

Cleared expired stock frees up controlled storage.

Maintains collection documentation

Signed records keep the paper trail organized.

Supports responsible handover
