Chemotherapy Waste Disposal Services
Chemotherapy waste is a primary concern for healthcare providers who are developing hazardous waste management plans at chemo waste disposal facilities.
We have developed the United States’ first reusable containment system for chemotherapy waste. It features a hands-free design that reduces potential infection transfer risk.
With growing adoption of the USP <800> standard and concerns around staff and patient risk management, more healthcare facilities are choosing Daniels Health for safer, more sustainable and more cost-effective solutions for chemotherapy waste disposal.
At Daniels Health, we offer the most secure solutions for trace and bulk chemotherapy waste disposal in the United States.
Our safety-engineered containers for sharp and soft chemotherapy waste are designed to protect staff and patients from infection risks.
We take hazardous waste management seriously. Our reusable Chemosmart container was the first chemotherapy waste disposal containment system in the United States that eliminated the need for plastic bags, liners and secondary-packaging. This efficiency and the elimination of disposable containers dramatically reduce the overall cost, landfill burden and environmental impact of your facility.
As a service provider, we deliver:
Safety continues outside the hospital
We’re the industry leaders in the safe collection, transportation and treatment of chemotherapy waste. All chemotherapy waste is transported in custom carriers to minimize contamination and then sterilized through a robotic washing process.
Ahead of NIOSH's introduction of the new USP <800> regulations, we have partnered with multiple hospitals and facilities to implement the Chemosmart system. Our solutions ensure the compliant disposal of all exposed PPE and trace residues of newly classified drugs.
With over 30 years of experience, we have the operational, licensing and compliance expertise to protect healthcare facilities from safety risks and help them fulfill their regulatory obligations in chemotherapy waste disposal and management. All of our oncology products and solutions are designed to minimize infection transfer risk, ensure user safety, and maximize handling and movement efficiencies.
We know that it’s not always easy to understand federal and state codes and regulations for chemotherapy waste disposal. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing you with support and resources for chemotherapy waste disposal and management.
Our reusable containment systems eliminate excess waste and procurement costs associated with purchasing single-use containers.
Save time and labor by disposing and segregating waste at the point of generation. Our reusable containers eliminate box assembly labor and the need to double-package for transportation.
Our clinically designed chemotherapy waste containers have inbuilt seals that minimize odors and prevent leakage.
Mobile cart and foot pedal operation accessories enable point-of-generation waste disposal, alongside our rigorous 6-stage robotic wash and sanitization process to minimize infection
Choosing reusable solutions dramatically reduces the volume of plastic and cardboard being disposed of in landfills.
We don't take risks with safety. Our Chemosmart containers are the only DOT containers approved for transportation and inpenetrability, with inbuilt safety mechanisms to protect staff during use.
Here at Centegra we are all about our future footprint concerning our environmental waste, this is where Daniels Health and Centegra become a very good match. Centegra’s working relationship with Daniels has been very professional throughout the years. One of the outstanding points that comes to mind is the reliability that Daniels has proven time and time again.
Tammie Johnson, Cumberland Medical Center, Crossville, TennesseeSwitching 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 RMW containers, by 50%. That allowed us to focus more on the cleaning of the hospital in other areas.
Steve Egbert, CHESP, General Manager, Sodexo, Crittenton Hospital Medical CenterDaniels onsite field service team deliver services including auditing, right size container selection, and adjusting frequencies; this has made a significant difference in reducing EVS labor assistance by 99%. For our EVS Department, this allows us to reallocate hours back into improving performance outcomes. I cannot say enough about my positive experiences with Daniels Health.
Jeff Selby, EVS System Director, TriHealth, Cincinnati, OhioI could not have asked for a better transition to a product. The Daniels Sharpsmart collector allows us to protect our staff, our patients and our visitors as well as our environment.
Jack Rupert, Director of Environmental Services, University of Louisville HospitalDaniels manages our full medical waste stream. I would recommend Daniels to both large and smaller facilities. Daniels Health collectors are by far the safest sharps and medical waste containers, and have a very ECO friendly impact on the environment.
Judy Fernandez, EVS manager, Valley HealthDaniels Health and Rollins Brook Community Hospital have a good working relationship. For Sharps, RMW waste and pharmaceutical solutions, both Daniels and the hospital are ECO friendly and work well together.
