Controlled substances

To dispose of a registered controlled substance, the registrant must complete DEA Form 41. The registered controlled substance must remain in possession of the registrant until retrieved by the waste contractor. Notify the contractor you have a registered controlled substance when you request a pickup.

Legacy controlled substance disposal

Legacy controlled substances are substances that are listed on one of the US Drug Enforcement Agency's (DEA) Controlled Substance Schedules, but are unregistered. This can result from a variety of circumstances. Possession or use of controlled substances without a registration is illegal. Disposal is difficult and subject to approval by DEA.
