  • Scheduled collection and container exchange
  • Robotic washing and decontamination between uses
  • A practical alternative to buying and discarding one-time-use containers

Why Nova Scotia Facilities Choose Reusable Sharps

  • Safer sharps handling
    • Reusable sharps containers are designed for clinical environments and help support safer point-of-use disposal.
  • Professionally sanitized
    • Containers are sanitized through Daniels’ robotic washing and decontamination process before being returned to service.
  • Service scheduled around your facility
    • Daniels coordinates collection and container servicing around your operational needs, helping keep sharps disposal reliable and predictable.
  • Less single-use container waste
    • Move away from repeatedly purchasing and disposing of one-time-use sharps containers and reduce the waste they send to landfill.


Reduce Your Reliance on Single-Use Sharps Containers

Disposable sharps containers create a recurring cycle of purchasing, use, disposal, and replacement. A reusable sharps-container program helps facilities reduce their reliance on single-use containers while maintaining a managed approach to collection, sanitization, and safe sharps disposal.
