Sharps Containers

Sharps Containers are a container that is used in a variety of fields, though most often in the medical field, to safely dispose of medical needles or other sharp instruments. It is standard procedure in the medical field to promptly place medical needles into a needle disposal box after single use. You may drop needles into a container without touching the outside of the container. In fact, you should never push or force needles into a container.

After the container is full, you will need to have your container delivered to a medical waste management site. However, we offer several different containers that include a prepaid shipping box, such as 1 Gallon, 2 Gallon and 3 Gallon containers, to safely dispose of your medical needles without hassle.To easily be identifiable, specifically in the United States, a sharps container is made of a durable, red plastic. In other countries, a sharps disposal may be identified by a durable, yellow plastic container. In the United States, regulations vary from state to state, so please check with your local regulations to determine the best method of disposal.
