Disposable Needle Container FAQ

What can go inside a 1.5 gallon sharps needle container?

Our large containers for sharps offer versatile disposal solutions for nearly every type of sharp instrument, including:

  • Needles, syringes, lancets, auto-injectors, and infusion sets
  • Any small glass instruments or medical essentials designed to cut the skin
  • Blood vials, broken glass, and pipettes
  • Scalpels, capillary tubes, exposed ends of dental wire, and suture needles

You should not be using 1.5 gallon sharps needle containers for soft waste or other non-sharp items. These may include prescription medications and packaging, tape and bandages, hazardous chemical waste or dyes, and alcohol prep pads.

When is a needle box considered full?

At Post Medical, we strive to anticipate your needs with our designs. When it comes to these sharps boxes for needles, we clearly mark fill lines to indicate when it’s time to replace your sharps box with a new one. Our fill lines are about ¾ of the way up the container to ensure staff safety when sealing a full sharps box for disposal.

How do you close and seal a disposable sharps container?

We offer two lid styles for our sharps disposal systems: a snap lid or a locking screw cap. When it’s time to dispose of your 1.5 gallon sharps needle container, press down on the snap lid or twist the screw cap until the lock engages. Once locked, the container cannot be opened again.
