Rooms change. Patient volumes change. The waste service you bought years ago may deserve another look. GICMD works through your current containers and collection needs with you, then puts the proposed work and price in front of you. Stericycle Canada lists recovery fees, fuel surcharges and extra-service charges, so bring a recent invoice when we discuss your quote. It helps us compare the complete service, not just a collection rate.

Why choose GICMD
Start with what's changed in your practice.
An extra treatment room, fewer opening days or containers that fill at different rates can change what you need. Tell us how the clinic works now. We'll plan the containers and frequency around those requirements and explain the price before you commit.
Keep the service and billing questions together.
With GICMD, the person you call about a collection can also help with a manifest request or an invoice question. Your office has a familiar contact as well as a written proposal to work from.

Will GICMD cost less than my current service?
Your GICMD quote will let you make that comparison. The result depends on the containers, frequency and work included in each offer. We'll explain our proposal so you can compare it with the complete current bill.
Can I compare my current invoice?
Yes. We'll use it to understand what you're paying for now. Let us know if your waste volumes or pickup needs have changed so your new quote reflects what you need today.
What should I check before returning existing containers?
Check who owns the containers and whether your agreement includes return charges or a notice period. Confirm when the old containers will leave and when your GICMD containers will arrive.
