Why do I need a Witness Destruction Log?

All controlled substance destruction must be recorded on a Waste Destruction Log. This means that two witnesses have overseen the on-site destruction of the controlled substances. The log records date, dosage, amount destroyed, destruction method, and date with signature of each witness. The witness log is kept on-site for 3 to 5 years per state regulations.

The waste log verifies that the filled Rx Destroyer contains a non-hazardous carbon mixture. Once confirmed, the bottles can be discarded into a non-RCRA pharmaceutical waste bin or non-hazardous industrial waste bin.
