Texas, once the home of cowboys and ranches, has evolved into an eclectic mix of urban and rural culture and settings. The Lone Star State, as it is commonly called, is now the proud home of more than 28.3 million people, and only 4 million of these live in rural Texas.
Some people say that everything is bigger in Texas, and that’s definitely true for the size of the state itself. Texas is the second largest state in America, spanning over 261,767 square miles, and making it geographically almost the same size as Europe. Most of the state’s residents occupy the 5 most populated metropolitan cities: Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin and Fort Worth.
However, their fascination and reputation for bigger doesn’t stop there. Texas has a culture of bigger and better that extends to its BBQs, steaks, ribs, fish, sporting fields and real estate. Texas is also a state with rich historical roots, home to of one of the most prolific historical sites in America, the Alamo. The Alamo served as a fort in the Texan War of Independence. Visitors and residents also like to investigate and explore space at the Space Center in Houston, reconnect with nature at the rugged Big Bend National Park or wine, dine and shop along the water at San Antonio’s iconic River Walk. Texas is also home to the fastest-growing city in the United States, Austin, which has a reputation for being delighfully weird.
Everything is bigger… even healthcare!
The saying that everything is bigger in Texas is also true when it comes to their hospitals. Texas has 407 hospitals, the most out of any state in America. All of these hospitals generate medical and biohazard waste, requiring biohazard disposal in Texas, along with other facilities including aged care facilities, clinics, labs, pharmacies, dental surgeries and vets. Partnering with some of the leading hospitals in Texas, Daniels Health has been serving Texas Healthcare for more than 15 years and with our own transport, treatment, compliance and account management specialists, has developed an iron-clad reputation for medical waste service excellence across the state.

Contamination-free Medical Waste Containers
Daniels’ clean container movement is changing the industry’s perception of how medical waste should be disposed and transported.
In typical healthcare settings, reusable containers are lined with a red bag and decanted once the bag is full. This practice leads to bins in patient environments not been cleaned, harboring pathogens and accelerating risk of cross-contamination. At Daniels, all of our sharps, medical waste, chemo and pharmaceutical containers are hands-free, and furthermore undergo a rigorous 6-stage robotic washing decontamination and sanitization process after each use. Once the waste is disposed and treated at one of our clean processing plants, a clean container is returned in perfect condition. We are proud to be “moving the goalposts” of what safety in medical waste containers should look like,our results across needlestick injury reduction, segregation, cost reduction and landfill diversion prove that we’re on the right path!
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 containersystem in the world.

Why Reusable Sharps containers are better for the environment
As healthcare facilities across the United States increasingly focus on reducing the environmental impact of their waste streams (and as environmental impact regulations increase), it is vital to understand the difference between disposing of sharps, chemotherapy and pharmaceutical waste in ‘reusable’ containers, and disposing of them in ‘disposable’ or ‘recyclable’ containers.
