An unused/expired spill kit that has never been contaminated with hazardous drugs is not considered hazardous drug (HD) waste. The others are HD-contaminated materials: gloves, gowns, expired HD drugs, and used chemo prep mats all qualify as HD waste. (Note: if a spill kit contains hazardous chemicals or becomes contaminated with HDs, it must be disposed of accordingly per facility/policy.)
