Attention Michigan Healthcare Professionals
On July 23, 2024, Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Senate Bill 482 into law, which extends the timeline for the disposal of sharps containers.
Previously, state law mandated that sharps containers be removed from premises every 90 days, regardless of how full the container was. Now, state law allows for a sharps container to be used continuously until it is 3/4 full as long as it is removed within 18 months of first use.
What does this mean for you?
With this new law in place, you will now be able to achieve better utilization of your sharps containers. You can look forward to:
- Fewer container exchanges
- Reduced costs
- Minimized patient interruptions
Best of all, there is no longer any need to date your containers!
The State of Michigan is the birthplace of the American automotive industry, and its capital, Detroit, is nicknamed Motor City. It’s also the home to 2 Big Ten competitve college football programs, Michigan State University and the University of Michigan. The northern part of the state is known affectionately as the UP — or the Upper Peninsula — and is a vacation destination for both Michiganders and outdoors tourists from all over the US.
Michigan has been the heart of America’s automotive industry since the early 1900s, when popular car manufacturers GM and Ford were founded there. If Michigan is the heart of the automotive industry, then Detroit (one of Michigan’s metropolitan cities) is the epicenter. Although Lansing is the state capital, Detroit is the most known. Detroit is arguably the car capital of the world, which explains why the decline of the American automotive industry in the 1970s and 1980s held such disastrous impacts for the city, and propelled Detroit towards filing for bankruptcy in 2013. Now, the market has stabilized and Michigan’s automotive industry provides hundreds of thousands of jobs, and more than 2 million cars per year to the global market. The state has 2200 facilities that conduct automotive research, design, engineering, testing, manufacturing and validation, and also boasts the world’s first self-driving highway test facility. While it may not have been an automative industry giant, Grand Rapids has held the title of “Beer City USA” more than any other US city.
Michigan’s flourishing Healthcare Sector
Another industry that is flourishing in Michigan is healthcare. There are approximately 175 hospitals in Michigan, 7 of which regularly appear on “America’s 100 Best Hospitals” list. These hospitals, along with various other medical and healthcare facilities in Michigan naturally produce medical and biohazardous waste which is where Daniels Health comes into the picture. Daniels Health has been providing medial waste management and sharps disposal expertize to the Michigan healthcare sector for over 10 years. In 2010 we established our own facility in Michigan which offers collection, disposal and treatment of medical and biohazardous waste for hundreds of hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, and Pennsylvania. We are proudly local.
GUIDE TO MICHIGAN MEDICAL WASTE
Medical Waste Disposal With Safety
Unlike other red bag waste management companies, we protect the process from cradle (generation) to grave (disposal) and assume full responsibility for the security of your waste. As the waste generator is responsible for the waste they produce UNTIL such time as it is disposed of, having a medical waste partner that holds high risk insurance and assumes full responsibility of the medical waste pickup, transport, treatment and disposal is critical. To ensure your risk is minimized, it is our drivers, our trucks and our processing facility that manages your waste – no third parties involved! This combined with our years of experience and innovative approach, means that your waste is safe with us. We are different, because we:
- Leverage innovation, in everything that we do
- Partner with you to reduce medical and biohazardous waste and the associated costs
- Only issue transparent contracts, with scheduling to suit your needs
- Provide clinically designed sharps, medical and pharmaceutical containers proven to dramatically reduce hygiene, infection, security and safety risks.

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 sanitization process that eliminates challenge organisms andproves a 106 Log reduction inbacterial load.
