We approach Surgical Waste Clinically
Safety and infection control in an operating room is not simply a ‘nice to have’, it’s a necessity. Daniels’ surgical medical waste disposal solutions are designed to optimize multi-waste stream segregation in a high-pressure OR environment. Contracted as part of our service, we provide containers for sharps, surgical devices, pharmaceuticals and regulated medical waste which are exchanged after every fill, robotically washed to eliminate surface contamination, and replaced with newly sanitized containers.
- Dubbed the “safest sharps container in the world”, our Sharpsmart container reduces container-associated sharps injuries by 87%
- Our 8-stage robotic washing, decontamination and quality control process achieves a standard of cleanliness 4 times higher than required by the CDC
- 10⁶ log microbial load reduction ensures medical waste containers entering a sterile environment are free from contamination.
- Our Medismart medical waste disposal system is preferred among surgeons for its low microbial burden and hands-free use

Redefining Healthcare Waste for Surgical Centers
We Start With Clinical Needs
We’re not a “back of dock” waste company picking up a few cardboard boxes and red bags; we believe that safety and infection control are directly impacted by medical waste management, and every aspect of our waste disposal program is designed to address clinical needs while also providing reliable and cost-effective waste pickups.
We Understand Service Needs
Every surgery center generates different types of pharmaceuticals, and varying volumes of waste – no two facilities are the same. We work with you to determine the right service schedule for you – one that ensures your facility has enough bins for procedural rooms, and that aligns with the waste volumes you generate on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis.
We Match-Make Containers
We help you determine what containers are right for your facility’s needs. This takes into account container sizes, mounting accessories, mobile carts for point-of-use disposal, and color-coded containers for the disposal of sharps, medical waste, pharmaceuticals, and surgical devices. Our container matchmaking services are second to none!
We Make Contracts Simple
No third party waste haulers, no undisclosed price increases, no complicated terms. We provide contracts that make sense to the risk exposure of both Daniels Health and your facility in the compliant management of healthcare waste. Clear Pricing, human lingo and an agreement that is simple to understand and 100% on us to deliver on.
We Take Good Care of You
We have an amazing team driven by the mission of making healthcare safer, and an integrated quality control process that oversees cleanliness, timeliness, service reliability, and customer request responsiveness on a daily basis, with escalations that go right up to our C-Suite! At every level of our organization, we are committed to service excellence.
We Optimize Segregation
An integral part of medical waste cost and risk management is the correct segregation of waste streams. At Daniels our experts continually work with our customers to conduct a hazardous pharmaceuticals formulary analysis, provide ongoing education, and audit over-categorized wastes. Through effective segregation, we reduce medical waste spend by 30%.
We Boost your Sustainability
Daniels sharps, medical waste, and pharmaceutical waste containers eliminate over a million single-use containers going to landfills every year! Our goal with every facility we work with is to implement waste management solutions that minimize landfills, reduce the CO2 burden, and reduce supply chain dependence on plastic manufacturing.
Brands we partner with
We are proud to have been chosen by over 8,200 US facilities as a vendor of choice for healthcare waste services, including our very first customer that we signed 22 years ago! Here are some of the brands we protect
“Daniels delivers the best service…”
We switched to Daniels from Stericycle last year. The quality of service is better than previous suppliers, and the containers are safer for the staff to use. It’s nice to have a rep that we can communicate with and get timely help from; a lot of companies don’t have reps that will come on-site and work through issues. As far as we’ve seen in the industry, Daniels is the best service at the most affordable price.
“Reduced Sharps Injuries by 50%…”
The program has been extremely successful in reducing our needlestick injuries by 50% and their service capability can’t be beat. We are a two hospital system and have enjoyed our decision and their success and will continue to use Daniels for our healthcare waste services.
“Reduced Medical Waste Volumes by 58%…”
From switching over to the Daniels Sharpsmart system: in a 12-month period, we reduced our RMW (Regulated Medical Waste) volumes by 58% and reduced our sharps container turns. That in turn saved our organization nearly $13,000.
