Biomedical & Biohazardous Waste Disposal in Calgary
To most people, Calgary — the “Stampede City” or “Cowtown” — is synonymous with the Calgary Stampede. But what is the Calgary Stampede and what else should we know about Calgary? To answer the first question, the Calgary Stampede is a ten-day event billed as “the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.” The event attracts over one million visitors per year; prompting the city to adorn itself and its citizenry in the trappings of the Old West, including the world’s largest rodeo.
What else do we need to know about Calgary? Impressively, Calgary has been ranked by the Economist as North America’s most livable city and one of the top five most livable cities in the world every year since 2009. While Calgary is also one of the more temperate Canadian cities, downtown visitors are able to avoid going out in the cold days by traversing the Plus 15 Skyway network, one of the world’s most extensive pedestrian skywalk. With more than 83 bridges and nearly 16 km of sheltered pedestrian walkways, you’ll never have the brace the chilling winters!
Calgarians also benefit from a reasonable cost of living, which is more affordable than those in most large North American cities. In fact, Albertans’ provincial health care insurance is free. Calgary currently has four major acute care hospitals running under the auspices of Alberta Health Services: the Foothills Medical Centre, the Peter Lougheed Centre, the Rockyview General Hospital, and the South Health Campus along with a children’s acute care hospital: Alberta Children’s Hospital.
Calgary Healthcare Waste Management with a difference.
Calgary deserves biomedical waste containers designed to keep clinicians safe and reduce needlestick injuries. Daniels Health is happy to provide one of the leading cities of the world with world-class clinical waste disposal solutions. Our systems were engineered with clinician feedback in mind so that they would be as safe as possible for those using them daily. Each of our reusable sharps, pharmaceutical, cytotoxic and biomedical waste systems is created with impenetrable plastic, vibrant coloured lids to make waste segregation easy, and inbuilt leakproof seals. We take a different approach to biomedical wastes because we know the “bag and a box” solution accepted fifteen years ago just doesn’t cut it today. As the second largest healthcare waste management company in Canada, Daniels Health have the infrastructure and clinically trained team to be able to support our healthcare partners in a way no other waste company can – driving clinical objectives, providing services and schedules that meet the unique needs of a healthcare facility, and above all delivering solutions that protect the safety of healthcare workers and the environment.

- Sharps disposal and biomedical waste

Dramatically reduced infection transfer risk
Using a foot-pedal opening mechanism and bagless system means hand contact with the container is no longer required.
This no-touch alternative results in a dramatic reduction in the infection transfer risk that currently exists using standard medical waste containers.The Medismart reusable system ensures that once full, each container is removed from your premises, emptied, and then subjected to a rigorous 6-stage robotic wash and sanitisation process that eliminates challenge organisms and proves a 106 Log reduction in bacterial load.
Sharpsmart. World Leading Sharps Safety Technology
Peer reviewed in four independent studies, clinically proven to reduce Sharps Injuries by up to 87%, and relied on by healthcare facilities around the world, the Sharpsmart system is driven by a single objective – To Save Lives. Designed with 13 safety features, manufactured with needle-impenetrable plastic, a gravity balanced safety tray for risk-free sharps disposal, and a built-in overfill protection mechanism, the Daniels Sharpsmart is the most advanced sharps container system in the world.
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!

Featured Product.
The Daniels Pharmasmart is one of our many clinically-designed waste containment solutions. This dark-blue-topped container is for non-hazardous pharmaceutical sharps and medication waste. The Pharmasmart comes in a variety of sizes and has the same features as our other reusable systems: impenetrable plastic, leakproof seals, and both permanent and semi-permanent locks. The various sizes mean these containers can be securely wall mounted (with a key) or mounted on mobile trolleys to be positioned at point of disposal. The vibrant blue lid makes waste segregation easy for your team, and inbuilt safety trays restrict unauthorised access to container contents.
