Trace versus bulk chemotherapy waste

Trace chemo waste is anything that held a chemotherapy agent and is now empty, meaning less than 3% of the original volume remains. It goes in a dedicated yellow container and is incinerated. Anything with more residual is bulk chemo waste and is managed as RCRA hazardous waste.

Getting that split right protects your staff and keeps your hazardous waste generator status accurate. We set both streams up together.
