Zusammenfassung:	A wasting station for receiving a wasted medication from a medication dispenser is provided. The wasting station includes a base and a locking mechanism. The base includes a weight sensor to measure a weight of a waste container supported by the base. The wasting station can determine, based on the measured weight, a volume of the wasted medication positioned within the waste container. The locking mechanism includes a first end coupled to the base. The locking mechanism also includes a second end coupled to the waste container when the locking mechanism is in a first position and decoupled from the waste container when the locking mechanism moves from the first position to a second position, thereby allowing for removal of the waste container.
