For hospitals that have both a reverse distributor and a pharmaceutical waste program--What do you do with partial boxes, single vials etc. Do you send them to your reverse dist., knowing that you most likely will not receive any credit, or do you just toss in your pharmaceutical waste bin and have your hauler transport and destroy?

We send them back with our reverse distributor. We get charged by weight, so it costs us more to waste them in our pharmaceutical waste bins.
