Medical & Biohazardous Waste Disposal in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is a state known for its large Amish population, being America’s chocolate capital, and its early influence on rail travel in America. Pennsylvania is one of the 13 original colonies in America. The state was established in 1681 as a result of a royal land grant to William Penn, who named the land Pennsylvania after his father. Penn prescribed to the Quaker faith, controversial in England at the time. His intention was to establish a place where people could enjoy freedom of religion. 
It’s therefore no surprise that Pennsylvania is a state with significant religious history, while there are less than 10,000 practicing Quakers today, there is another religion that owes a lot of its history to the state. Pennsylvania has been home to the Amish for hundreds of years, maintains one of the largest Amish populations in America and also plays host to America’s oldest Amish settlement in the Lancaster County community.Pennsylvania is also known as the unofficial home of American chocolate, with Hershey’s chocolate originating from the community of the same name, in the Derry Township. The state also has a rich rail history. The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) was established in 1846 and was the largest railroad, by traffic and revenue, in America for the first half of the 20th century. By 1911, Pittsburgh produced over half the nation’s steel.
Pennsylvania is a state of many “firsts” it was where Betsy Ross made the first American flag. Philadelphia was home to the first daily newspaper published in 1784, Benjamin Franklin founded America’s first zoo, and this city was also where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. The Liberty bell is also housed in Philly but if you can’t make it there, Allentown has a full-scale replica. The state is also a pioneer when it comes to medicine, being the home to the Pennsylvania Hospital, the first public hospital in America – founded in 1751. Now the state has nearly 250 hospitals, servicing the healthcare needs of the 12.8 million people that call Pennsylvania home.

Clean, Sanitized Medical Waste Containers
We know it’s almost an oxymoron, but let us explain how Daniels is leading the industry in its clean container movement…
We clean after use. That’s right… when your medical waste container gets filled we don’t just put another red bag in it and hope that someone in the next few months will clean the container. We take it away and the container gets cleaned through our state-of-the-art robotic washing machine. Made with over 15,000 parts, Daniels mechanical washline feeds each Daniels container through a 6 stage washing and quality control process, achieving a 6log bacterial load – the highest ever recorded in a bin-washing technology. At Daniels we take contamination and infection risk seriously; whether it’s a sharps, chemotherapy or pharmaceutical waste container, with Daniels its hygiene will be guaranteed.
Sharpsmart. World Leading Sharps Safety Technology
Peer reviewed in four independent studies, clinically proven to reduce needlestick 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.
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 and proves a 106 Log reduction in bacterial load.
