Our approach to total waste management is very different from most other waste companies because our services are dedicated to healthcare. Hospitals and patient care environments face human, infection and emergency pressures that few other industries would ever need to negotiate, and therefore the process of movement, handling and even storage of waste renders clinical consideration.
Waste optimisation and a safety-led approach to all waste streams generated out of a healthcare facility should be the minimum standard irrespective of facility or organisation type. At Sharpsmart, our role as experts, is to provide you with the most safe, seamless and cost-effective means of managing all waste streams. Whether this is clinical waste, lightbulbs or confidential waste; or the provision of an 1100 Litre bin for single stream recycling and ward mounted reusable sharps containers, our solutions are scalable and versatile across all sized healthcare facilities. Through our total waste management contracts and trusted partnerships we align your facility's goals with our own in creating a total waste solution that drives the following outcomes:
Sharpsmart’s innovative green containment, technologies and overall approach to segregation, waste minimisation and total waste management sets us apart as a sustainability focused organisation. We don't accept "standard service", we expect that every healthcare facility is different and focus on identifying the safest, most efficient, and most cost-effective means of managing all waste streams according to site requirements.

Our partners and sub-contractors are an extension of our business and both our service and performance commitment to our customers, so we take selection and alignment very seriously. Our pre-requisites for selecting a suitable sub-contractor are as follows:
