The founding premise
If you operate a dental practice, a vet clinic, a small auto-body shop, or a research lab in your service area, you generate regulated waste. You also know what the current options feel like: national haulers minimum-bill you against an annual contract you don't need, route you on whatever cadence suits their truck, and provide a customer-success contact in another province.
Bioshield was incorporated to do something narrower and better. One truck. One Class 3 + TDG-certified driver. One compliance framework. Every stream a small generator actually produces. Every customer dials the same local number, and every pickup runs through the same documented chain of custody.
Founder
Bioshield was founded by Abdulqudus Aberuagba, who built the company after two years inside Alberta's industrial-services sector watching small generators be repeatedly underserved. The thesis was simple: regulatory complexity is a moat — but only when it's wielded as a service, not as a billing surcharge.
What we actually do
- Regular waste management — scheduled bin collection for businesses and apartment complexes, with flat monthly contracts and no surprise surcharges.
- Mobile toilet rentals — portable units for construction sites and events, delivered and serviced weekly with documented sanitizing and approved sewage disposal.
- Biomedical waste pickup — sharps, pathological, pharmaceutical, and infectious clinical waste, packaged to UN3291 and Class 6.2 standards.
- Chemical (non-hazardous) collection — salon chemicals, photographic and print chemistry, expired consumer products, mixed solvents below TDG threshold.
- Hazardous waste — solvents, paints, acids, bases, reactives, and lab packs under full Alberta Hazardous Waste manifesting.
- Liquid hazardous waste — hazardous liquids in bulk by vacuum truck and tanker, or drummed: spent solvents, acids and caustics, contaminated fuels, and process liquids, fully manifested.
- Hydrovac excavation & utility daylighting — non-destructive digging and safe exposure of buried utilities with pressurized water and vacuum recovery.
- Vacuum truck services & sewer cleaning — sump, pit, pond, and lift station pumping, plus flushing and cleaning of sanitary and storm lines and catch basins.
- Industrial tank cleaning & sludge removal — confined-space cleaning of tanks, vessels, and interceptors, with settled sludge pumped, classified, and hauled to licensed disposal.
- Hazardous waste transport — licensed movement of drummed and bulk regulated waste under federal TDG documentation and a closed chain of custody.
- Oil spill response & recovery — on-call containment, absorbent deployment, recovered-hydrocarbon and contaminated-soil removal for shops, yards, and small industrial sites.
What we don't do
We don't do residential curbside. We don't bid on multi-municipal contracts. We stay focused on commercial and institutional generators. That focus is the product — it's how we hold a same-week pickup promise and a single accountable phone number.
Every credential we hold,
in one place.
Regulatory compliance is a binary outcome — you either have the credential or you don't. Here's the full Bioshield ledger.

Local routes,
cities across Canada.
Bioshield is a local operator, not a national franchise running your account from a call centre two provinces away. We run local routes city by city across Canada — close enough that same-week pickup is the standard for new accounts and emergency response is a real phone call, not a ticket in a queue.
