Waste receiver for receiving a pharmaceutical waste material

A waste receiver for receiving a pharmaceutical waste material including at least a solid phase pharmaceutical waste material and a liquid phase pharmaceutical waste material with the waste receiver adapted to be releasably secured to a fixed surface, the waste receiver comprising:

• a receiver body defining an opening and comprising an inner surface defining a container volume;
• a diverter coupled to the receiver body and comprising:
• (i) a body portion having a rim positioned adjacent the opening of the receiver body,
• (ii) a solid receiver guide coupled to the body portion and disposed within the receiver body with the solid receiver guide defining an inlet and adapted to direct the solid phase pharmaceutical waste material received through the inlet to a solid waste volume within the container volume, and
• (iii) a liquid receiver guide coupled to the body portion and disposed within the receiver body and adapted to direct the liquid phase pharmaceutical waste material to a liquid waste volume within the container volume with each of the solid receiver guide and the liquid receiver guide being in communication with the opening of the waste receiver;
• and
• a cover adapted to be coupled with the receiver body over the opening to seal the pharmaceutical waste material within the container with the cover comprising an inner surface spaced apart from the inlet of the solid receiver guide when the cover is coupled with the receiver body such that at least partially inverting the receiver body directs liquid in the solid waste volume to move through the inlet and the liquid receiver guide and into the liquid waste volume.
