What must be done with outer chemo gloves after compounding?

After compounding, outer chemotherapy gloves must be disposed of properly in a designated yellow bin, which is specifically intended for hazardous waste. The yellow bin is used to collect materials that could be contaminated by hazardous drugs or cytotoxic agents. This disposal method ensures that potentially harmful substances are handled appropriately, minimizing exposure risk to pharmacy staff, patients, and the environment.

The other options would not be compliant with safety protocols for hazardous materials. Reusing gloves or cleaning them does not adequately eliminate the risk of contamination, and throwing them into regular waste would expose waste handlers and the community to hazardous substances. Proper disposal in the yellow bin is crucial in maintaining safety standards within pharmacy practice.
