Reverse distributors are a key part of the pharmaceutical supply chain and contribute to both keeping prescriptions drugs from people who should not have access to them and in reducing the quantity of untreated drugs that go to landfill.
A reverse distributor is anyone that receives prescription hazardous waste pharmaceuticals for the purposes of facilitating or verifying manufacturer credits.
The DEA does not recommend specific distributors but they do have a certification program for distributors. As of August 2020, the following companies were registered:
