Kentucky Medical Waste Management | Medical & Biohazardous Waste Disposal
Kentucky is the home of horse racing in America, and has been hosting one of the most prestigious races in North America for more than 140 years. The Kentucky Derby has taken place at Churchill Downs in Louisville on the first Saturday of May, since its inauguration in 1875. Every year, 20 thoroughbreds go head-to-head over the one and a quarter mile track, to the roar of attending crowds and those watching at home. Often referred to as the most exciting 2 minutes in sports, The Kentucky Derby attracted over 170,000 attendees to the 2018 annual event.
However, the Kentucky Derby is just one of the reasons why the state is well renowned for its relationship with racehorses and the horse racing industry. In Kentucky, it’s in the ground; Lexington is even called “the horse capital of the world.” Famous for its iconic Kentucky Bluegrass, which is recognized as one of the best pasture feeds for working horses, and helps to produce and sustain their unique equine specimens. It’s also the reason the state is known as the Bluegrass State – world-famous mandolin player, Sam Bush, is from Bowling Green in Kentucky! In addition to its equine industry, Kentuckians also have a firm hold in the liquor business, through its production of bourbon whiskey. Kentucky is the birthplace of bourbon and now supplies 95% of the world’s demand, due to its ideal climate and access to pure limestone water. Have a hankering for some good eats? In Covington, you’ll find relaxed taverns and bistros along the confluence of the Ohio and Licking rivers. Kentucky is also famous for sporting triumphs of the non-equine kind, with Louisville being the birthplace of 2 sporting legends. The Louisville Slugger, the official bat of the Major League Baseball and boxing great Muhammad Ali.
Kentucky has great horses, sporting history and bourbon – and it has great healthcare facilities, too. In the 2017 results of U.S. News and World’s Report Annual List of Best Hospitals in the United States, 7 of Kentucky’s hospitals were acknowledged among the best in the country. With hospitals, comes medical and biohazardous waste, and that’s why Daniels Health is here, to provide safe, effective and reliable waste management solutions for healthcare professionals and facilities in Kentucky, and beyond.

Kentucky Biomedical Waste Disposal Driven by Innovation
Our passion for healthcare safety and medical waste reduction is what drives our business, and our green solutions for device recovery in the operating room are a great example of this. The Daniels Surgismart container was designed as a single container for the collection of surgical devices and sharps disposal in the OR. Working with reprocessors of our customers’ choice – our Surgismart system increases collection success of medical devices by between 30-50% and provides a safe compact solution for waste collection in a space-restrictive environment. This single system delivers an immediate reduction in costs, increased buy-back potential of reprocessed devices, and greater simplicity for surgeons and nurses. 
We don’t believe medical waste bins have to be ugly!
What does this mean? It means that when we think of a patient environment – it bothers us to think of a dirty red medical waste bin or a cardboard box sitting in a corner to collect medical waste. If you wouldn’t put a dirty trash bin in your living room, why would you put one in a patient room? Involving clinicians in our design processes and engaging clinical feedback during trials of sharps containers and our world-leading Medismart container – we have developed a range of clinically compatible standards-approved containers that achieve the following results:
- Clinical differentiation – color, label and design recognition drive better segregation and safer handling
- Clinical outcomes – reduces waste, infection and lowers the risk of cross-contamination
- Safe handling – leak-proof design, overfill protection, hands-free use, no assembly, bags or double-packaging required
- Tamper-proof design – double secure locking mechanisms enhance security profile and facilitate safe pharmaceutical and sharps disposal
- Clean Aesthetics – forward-thinking design, non-porous and cleanable surface enhances the patient environment
- Efficiency – we deliver solutions that enable you to mount, move and position containers exactly where you need them. No more medical waste boxes in closets! Safety necessitates point-of-use disposal.
