At Stericycle, we’re on a mission to protect what matters—people, brands, and the environment. For over 35 years, we’ve been a trusted partner in compliance-based solutions, evolving from a start-up in medical waste management to a leader across various highly regulated industries. Every day, we help organizations safely manage materials that could pose risks to health, security, and the environment.
