Medical waste disposal company Daniels Sharpsmart Inc. said Friday it has opened a facility in East Baltimore.
The facility, which became fully operational this month, will serve hospitals, clinics, medical and dental offices in Maryland, Washington, D.C., Delaware and Pennsylvania from the plant.
The company said in a release that it was attracted to the area in part because of the quality of the region's hospitals.
The company is known for its Sharpsmart system which allows for the safe disposal of needles and other sharp objects.
The Baltimore facility on Chandlery Road is expected to create up to 35 new jobs over the next two years.
