Change in Practice
We understand that the thought of changing any process can seem daunting. That’s why the Sharpsmart installation process begins the moment we’re engaged as a potential partner – we work closely with you to understand your specific needs so that we can develop a service tailored for your facility.
We begin with an audit to assess current processes and identify ways to reduce waste and improve resource use through circular economy principles.
Once goals are set, we create a detailed installation plan and seamlessly replace your old containers with new containers with minimal disruption to your continuum of care.

- Our clear and easy-to-understand education and signage make compliant disposal second nature for everyone.
- Our systems are designed to integrate with your existing workflows, requiring no major changes to how you deliver patient care.
- We’re more than just a waste service provider – we’re a partner committed to ensuring a smooth transition and expert guidance every step of the way.
