Trace-Chemo waste must be stored in rigid yellow containers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Trace-Chemo Waste services.
What is trace chemotherapeutic waste?
Trace chemotherapeutic waste consists of materials that have come into contact with chemotherapy agents or contain only residual amounts of the drug. To be classified as “trace,” the item must be “RCRA empty,” meaning it contains less than 3% of its original volume.
How should trace-chemo waste be stored?
For safety and regulatory compliance, trace-chemotherapeutic waste must be stored in rigid yellow containers. These containers distinguish chemo waste from standard regulated medical waste (usually in red bags/containers) and hazardous waste.
How is trace-chemotherapeutic waste disposed of?
Unlike some medical waste that can be autoclaved, trace-chemo waste must be incinerated. NEIE MWS ensures that all trace-chemo materials are transported to a permitted incineration facility to ensure total destruction of the chemical agents.
