Regarding to items #403 and 605 regarding to the management of empty warfarin containers, the CVS’s Hazardous Waste Program requires that empty containers that previously contained warfarin be securely closed in storage, with packaging material such as seals and cotton contained therein and placed directly in the labeled pharmacy hazardous waste container with the appropriate accumulation start date. We have reviewed proper warfarin-container management procedures with pharmacy personnel to ensure compliance with the CVS’s hazardous waste program. We have received confirmation that all warfarin empty bottles were placed in the Stericycle hazardous waste tote and removed from the store during the pickup performed on April 10, 2019 (Manifests attached). Also, additional training was provided on the proper disposition of cleaning materials such as alcohol wipes, paper towels, etc. by following the hazardous waste program. - Item #113: SJC EHD will continue to cite this violation as long as CVS continues to not include the weight of the warfarin-contaminated containers when completing a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, per DTSC’s current position on this subject stated in a letter dated August 2,2018.
