From Categorisation to Collection Sharpsmart can expertly manage your chemical waste disposal
With national service and processing capability, 24 hour security, and expertise in specialty waste streams, more healthcare facilities are choosing Sharpsmart for customer-focused and cost-effective Hazardous and Chemical Waste Management services.

With 30 years experience and national service, we pride ourselves on rapid response service, guaranteed compliance, and preferential rates through our national relationships and supply chain. Sharpsmart has the solutions, licensing and compliance expertise to protect the safety risk exposure and regulatory responsibilities of healthcare facilities in the total management of chemical waste.

Our Approach to Chemical Waste Management
CATALOGUING
Our experts work with you to catalogue all of the chemicals that your facility is producing, whether liquids, solvents, solid chemicals or chemical substance residues.
IDENTIFICATION
A chemist attends your site to verify the chemicals your facility is producing, understand quantities, and evaluate composition.
CONTAINMENT
Our experts assess your current containment options and ensure they meet the compliance requirements of the chemicals being collected. Additional bins or other forms of containment can be provided if required.
COLLECTION
We work with your team to set a service frequency or isolated pick up schedule that reflects your facility’s needs and opening hours. Chemicals are collected and transported by our GPS monitored fleet.
RECOVERY & TREATMENT
We work to achieve the greenest processing outcome possible based on the mix of chemicals being treated. Individual chemicals can be used in abatement processes, recovered or incinerated.
