Effective August 21, 2019, health care facilities, including long-term care facilities and veterinary clinics, may no longer dispose of pharmaceuticals that are hazardous waste by flushing or putting them down the drain. This requirement (40 CFR 266.505) is part of the US EPA’s final rule for the management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals. The other provisions of the rule do not take effect in Kansas until they are adopted by the State.
An information sheet, which includes a list of facilities that are considered health care facilities for the purposes of this rule, can be found at www.kdheks.gov/waste/forms/meddisposal/EPAHWsewerban-2019-08-07.pdf. For additional information about the management of hazardous waste you may visit the Kansas Department of Health and Environment-Bureau of Waste Management web site at www.kdheks.gov/waste or call 785-296-1600.
Submission of many of the state licensure forms also requires submission of an accompanying fee. Fees must be paid by either check, money order or credit card payment authorization made payable to the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) for adult care homes (including assisted living/residential health care facilities, boarding care homes, home plus facilities and adult day care).
Beginning April 1, 2018, a 3.04 percent fee will be added to payments made by credit card. To make credit card payments to KDADS, use the Credit Card Application.
