# Size the sharps program around the stations you actually need.

**GICMD vs Biomed Recovery & Disposal**

Considering Biomed's Terra program for a Saskatchewan facility? Its ten-station minimum is a concrete planning point. Bring GICMD your actual station count and collection needs for a facility-specific service proposal.

## At a glance

- Start with actual container needs
- Confirm local service before approval
- Connect pickup, records and billing

## Start with fit before committing to a container program.

Get a GICMD proposal built from the container stations your facility actually needs, with the collection plan and price clear before approval. One owner follows the work through pickup, records and billing. Biomed's Terra program describes monthly pricing, bracket rental and a ten-station minimum. Share your Saskatchewan address and footprint so we can confirm the GICMD service fit.

The Terra terms below apply to that named program, not every Biomed service.

## Why choose GICMD

### Put the station count ahead of the package.

A clinic should understand how a proposed container system fits its rooms and waste generation. Share your current layout and the number of stations you need with GICMD. We will review the service fit and propose an arrangement around the facility, without assuming that a published competitor package is the only starting point.

### Include the collection routine in the decision.

Container quantity does not tell you how the working week will run. GICMD brings collection frequency, accepted waste and pricing into the same proposal. For a Saskatchewan location, we confirm address-specific service before you decide, so the discussion is grounded in the arrangement available to you.

### Keep ownership after the swap.

Your service owner stays connected to pickup records, manifests and invoice follow-up. That gives the person managing the clinic a clear place to bring the practical questions that continue after containers are in position.

## Review the footprint before changing service.

Get the proposed service in hand before changing your current program.
