What do I do if our medical waste bin is overfilled?

It is important to avoid overfilling any type of medical waste containers. Unlike your kitchen rubbish bin at home, you should never push the waste down in an effort to fit more in the bin. This poses a safety risk as you can never be sure of the waste contents and run the risk of a sharps injury or contact with a potentially infections substance. Daniels Health containers are designed with fill lines to protect against overfilling. Once waste reaches the fill line, please lock your container and put it aside for service. If all of your medical waste containers are full or anticipated to fill before your next service, please contact Daniels Customer Excellence team to request an urgent pickup and supply of more clean containers.
