Biomedical Waste Disposal 
Reliable and simple service solutions for Biomedical Waste Management
With safety at the forefront of its solutions, more acute and non-acute healthcare facilities are choosing Daniels for customer-focused and cost-effective Biomedical waste services.
Given the potential infectious nature of medical and healthcare waste, stringent regulations govern its collection, transport and disposal. Biomedical waste (also known as biohazard, biohazardous, medical or infectious waste) is, according to Canadian law, the responsibility of the generator from point of disposal, right through to final treatment. With over 30+ years experience in healthcare, Daniels has the solutions, licensing and compliance expertise to protect the safety risk exposure and regulatory responsibilities of healthcare facilities in the total management of all healthcare waste streams.
What is biohazard waste?
- Anatomical solids and liquids waste from humans and animals
- Microbiological wastes such as waste serums and vaccines
- Non-anatomical wastes such as equipment
- Waste sharp items such as hypodermic syringe needles, called “sharps”
- Chemical and pharmaceutical wastes
We’re not going to give you a yellow biohazardous bag and a box
There are companies out there that boast the most durable yellow bags or plastic tubs in the market. We’re not that company. Why? Because we believe in a world where biomedical waste containers are designed to an appropriate standard of safety and compliance that bags are not required! Containers that are leakproof, puncture-proof and able to be permanently locked to avert security risks. It was the hard way to go about building a business (engineering the world’s safest medical and healthcare waste containers with UN certified ratings is a bit more of an undertaking than manufacturing a more rigid bag!) but from a safety standpoint, it’s the right way.
We help you eliminate biohazardous waste bags
The myth that bags are an acceptable containment for infectious waste, is quickly disappearing with infection control asserting a stronger voice in purchasing and healthcare service decision-making. Quite simply, plastic bags and single-use containers are not sustainable, they are not safe (stories are replete of healthcare workers or cleaners getting stuck by a wrongly discarded sharp, or being exposed to spilled infectious substances), and they add an unnecessary cost to the healthcare supply chain.

Medismart, the future of medical waste management
Infection minimizing innovation for the collection of Biomedical Waste
The Daniels Medismart is the first biomedical waste system to truly modernise healthcare waste management. Reducing time and labour, preventing infection transfer, eliminating multi-handling of waste, preventing sharps injuries, and dramatically improving waste segregation, the Medismart ushers in a new era of safe point-of-use and cost-effective biomedical waste disposal.

Let’s look at biomedical waste management costs in human terms
In many healthcare facilities, costs of biomedical waste disposal skyrocket because unnecessary waste volumes are finding their way into biohazard bins – burger wrappers, cola cans and empty coffee cups. At Daniels we work on driving cost reductions through in-detph training, container positioning that encourages positive segregation behaviours, colour-coded containers with clear labelling, and ongoing audits to determine problem locations. We help you ensure the right waste goes into the right bin so your facility is compliant and your costs are managed.
Cradle to Grave Waste Management
Our Drivers, Our Trucks, Our Treatment. Our Responsibility
Unlike other waste management service providers, we protect the process from generation to disposal, assuming full responsibility for the security of your waste. As the waste generator is responsible for waste produced UNTIL such time as it is disposed of, having a medical waste partner that assumes full responsibility of the biomedical waste pickup, transport, treatment and disposal is critical. To ensure your risk is minimised, it is our drivers, our trucks and our processing facilities that manage your waste – no third parties involved!

“Biomedical Waste Reduction of over 50%…”
Since our partnership with Daniels Health began in 2015, Daniels has been not only a service provider, but a solutions provider. With the introduction of Medismart biomedical waste containers, we have seen a reduction of biomedical waste at Ingalls by over 50%.

Daniels impact on efficiency…
Switching to Medismart saved our organization nearly $13,000. We also reduced the non-productive time that my staff had been spending switching over disposable sharps containers, and the number of trips for one of my staff members to pick up biomedical containers, by 50%. That allowed us to focus more on the cleaning of the hospital in other areas.

Sodexo, Crittenton Hospital Medical Center
“Reduces our footprint…”
We take pride in improving our environmental footprint; this is one of the reasons we selected Daniels Health for medical waste removal services. Daniels technology reduces our waste footprint and needlestick injuries. Our working relationship with Daniels has been simple, reliable and easy for the hospital. I would readily recommend Daniels to other healthcare facilities.
