Controlled Substance Infusion Waste Process

What is the actual process for wasting controlled substances infusions at your nursing units?

Does the unit nurse measure out the remaining solution in both the bag and the tubing to document how much volume they are wasting?
If so how is it measured?

If it is not measured, what volume is used to document the waste?
From the infusion device or from the EHR?

Thank you for your insight.
