Not all pharmaceutical waste is EPA non-hazardous.

In this case vials, some marked only with a trade

name, were carefully evaluated and properly 

classified as an EPA regulated waste due to

Chromium and Epinephrine content.

US Marshals kept product under supervised lock and

key for two years.

This project required the inspection of almost 

ONE MILLION containers.
