DENTAL · NORTH EDMONTON
Multi-stream consolidation for a three-chair practice
A three-chair dental practice in north Edmonton previously split waste between a national hauler for biomedical and a separate local vendor for the imaging chemistry stream. Two invoices, two contracts, two compliance frameworks, two annual document refresh cycles for the office manager.
After consolidating both streams onto a single Bioshield contract: one pickup visit, one manifest, one invoice. The office manager estimated 4 administrative hours per month recovered. The clinic also moved from a 24-month auto-renewing contract to month-to-month, with no minimum frequency.

VETERINARY · ST. ALBERT
Weekly biomedical pickup with same-day flexibility
A six-vet small-animal practice with high sharps volume needed scheduling that worked around their surgery days — typically Tuesday and Thursday mornings, when the practice generates 80% of weekly biomedical.
Bioshield assigned a Tuesday late-afternoon recurring slot. When surgery schedules shift (which they do), the practice messages the dispatcher and the pickup moves within the same week, no fee, no escalation. Over the first three months, eight reschedules happened smoothly.

AUTO BODY · SOUTHEAST EDMONTON
Hazardous solvent consolidation after partner failure
A mid-sized auto body shop's previous solvent hauler went out of business with two weeks' notice, leaving them with three accumulated drums and no chain-of-custody pathway. The shop was facing potential storage-limit violations under their existing permit.
Bioshield onboarded the account in three business days, including same-week emergency pickup of the accumulated drums. Permanent service moved to bi-weekly hazardous pickup with quarterly chemical (non-haz) pickup. Two streams, one contract, one local dispatcher.

RESEARCH LAB · CLOSING
Full lab pack of a closing post-secondary teaching lab
A small post-secondary teaching lab discontinued its analytical chemistry course and needed to clear approximately 140 small-volume reagent bottles, several with degraded labels, accumulated across more than a decade.
Bioshield ran a one-afternoon on-site lab pack with two packers and a supervising chemist. 142 bottles consolidated into 4 lab pack drums with compatibility segregation, manifested under a single hazardous shipment to a licensed disposal partner. Closing disposal certificate returned to the institution within 72 hours.

SALON GROUP · WEST EDMONTON
Five-location salon group on a single chemical contract
A five-location independent salon group had been pouring leftover developer and bleach down sink drains because no hauler was willing to bid on the small per-location volumes (averaging 6 L of chemistry per location per month).
Bioshield set up a monthly route covering all five locations on one visit, with segregated containers supplied to each. Total monthly volume averages 32 L across the group, billed as a single multi-stop chemical pickup. The group regained compliance posture they had been quietly losing for years.

CONTRACTOR · RENOVATION
Renovation contractor with unpredictable demolition runs
A renovation contractor specializing in commercial fit-outs had highly variable monthly waste — sometimes 200 kg of cardboard and packaging, sometimes 800 kg after a demolition run, occasionally 1,400 kg when a project closed.
Bioshield's flat $0.20/kg overage on the $200 base eliminated the tiered-overage anxiety the contractor had with their previous hauler. Monthly invoicing now tracks linearly with actual material moved. The contractor reports they no longer time renovation cleanouts to dodge overage tiers.
