Method of disposing of waste receiver, waste receiver for pharmaceutical waste and method of assembling the waste receiver

A waste receiver for receiving pharmaceutical waste material and adapted to be releasably coupled to a locking assembly secured to a fixed surface, said waste receiver comprising:

• a receiver body defining a container volume and an opening in fluid communication with said container volume for receiving the pharmaceutical waste material, said receiver body comprising a front wall, a rear wall opposite said front wall, and opposing sidewalls extending between said front and rear walls, wherein said receiver body defines a lock passageway adapted to receive the locking assembly, said lock passageway being separate from said opening and extending through said receiver body between said front and rear walls;
• and
• a reaction agent positioned within a region of said container volume defined between said lock passageway and one of said opposing sidewalls of said receiver body;
• wherein said container volume is a liquid waste receiver volume configured to receive liquid phase pharmaceutical waste material, said receiver body further defining a solid waste receiver volume substantially separate from said liquid waste receiver volume and configured to receive solid phase pharmaceutical waste material, wherein each of said liquid and solid waste receiver volumes are in communication with said opening.

A waste receiver for receiving liquid and solid phase pharmaceutical waste material and adapted to be releasably coupled to a locking assembly secured to a fixed surface, said waste receiver comprising:

• two shells joined to one another to form a receiver body defining an opening for receiving the liquid and solid phase pharmaceutical waste material, wherein said two shells cooperate to define a liquid waste receiver volume in fluid communication with said opening;
• and
• a reaction agent positioned within said liquid waste receiver volume,
• wherein said two shells each defining an aperture that cooperate to define a lock passageway separate from said opening and extending through said receiver body,
• wherein a singular one of said two shells defines a solid waste receiver volume substantially separate from said liquid waste receiver volume and in fluid communication with said opening.

• and
• a reaction agent positioned within a region of said container volume defined between said lock passageway and one of said opposing sidewalls of said receiver body;
• wherein said reaction agent is a first reaction agent and said region is a first region, said waste receiver further comprising a second reaction agent positioned within a second region of said container volume defined between said lock passageway and the other one of said opposing sidewalls.
