Eliminate Disposable Containers & Packaging

Daniels reusable containers eliminate the manufacturing, purchase and disposal of single-use containers, and their associated packaging and liners, significantly reducing volumes of plastic and cardboard waste generated. This includes Trace Chemotherapy waste, where Daniels has the only reusable Trace Chemotherapy container solutions. 

Reduce Container Exchanges

Our containers have greater fill volumes, fill more efficiently, and can leverage their full volume due to passive overfill protection. All this means less containers are required for the same volume of waste, reducing transport and container washes.

Reduce Waste Volumes

Through detailed waste reporting, benchmarking and supporting education, we work with you to ensure the right containers are positioned in the right location, and that the correct waste is disposed into the correct container. This partnership on correct segregation dramatically reduces medical waste volumes and minimizes treatment emissions by diverting waste into the most environmentally friendly treatment method, specific to each waste stream. 

Reduce Hazardous Waste Incineration

By diverting all non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste into our secure reusable containers, significant volumes of pharmaceutical waste are diverted from high temperature incineration to more sustainable treatment methods.

Single Service Vehicle

Daniels servicing fleet are dual-permitted, enabling the collection of both hazardous and non-hazardous waste on the same vehicle. This eliminates the need for a separate hazardous waste service, reducing transport and associated emissions.

Optimized Routing & Service Frequency

We work with you to optimize your service frequency to ensure required service levels are met on the most sustainable schedule possible, reducing fuel consumption.


By partnering with Daniels, your environmental impact will be significantly reduced each year.
