At Post Medical, we strive to ensure anyone can find the waste management solution they need for their use case. Our product line includes a wide variety of needle box sizes and colors to meet the requirements of your facility.
Size options for sharps bin containers range from 1 quart to 2.5 gallons with either locking or snap closure caps. Shop your color preference with clear, red, or yellow options to best fit your needs.
Our containers colors were formulated to allow the end user to visualize the contents fill level against the “maximum” fill level marker displayed on labels.
Choose from Post Medical’s tamper-evident cap closure or resealable snap closure containers to best fit your specific needs.
All of Post Medical’s quart sharps container sizes offer a unique Snap Closure design option that targets the needs of caregivers in the field who prefer a smaller, lightweight, and secure container that can be easily sealed and re-sealed throughout the day

Our multi-gallon needle boxes are the ideal choice for large-scale professional environments or healthcare caregivers who visit multiple patients each day. These larger-capacity biohazard sharps container replacements can handle a much larger volume of sharps disposal before needing to be replaced and disposed of.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team for more personalized guidance.
For the container itself, OSHA requires it to be closable, puncture-proof, leak-proof, and labeled. You also want to ensure your container is placed in a stable, accessible location where it cannot be knocked over. Sharps container brackets and wall-mounts offer simple, easy-to-install solutions.
At Post Medical, we’ve also added a few other safety measures to our containers, including making them lockable and providing a vertical drop disposal method to reduce needle-stick injuries.
Any items that are not considered sharps are prohibited from being disposed in sharps containers. These items may include:
Each of these items should be disposed of in the appropriate place.
Like the OSHA guidelines, the CDC also indicates that sharps bin containers should deliver robust physical integrity to prevent leaks and punctures. They should be easy to maintain upright during handling, with an open design that can accommodate sharps without risking injury during disposal.
Other recommendations include:
Yes, safe disposal of sharps in hospitals has standardized using red sharps containers for biohazard sharps, like those used to draw blood or inject medication. Yellow containers are designated for sharps disposal contaminated with chemotherapy drugs or other specialized pharmaceuticals.
Containers for sharps that are cleared by the FDA are generally those that you can purchase through medical supply companies, like Post Medical, pharmacies, and healthcare providers. Appropriate sharps containers must be leak-proof and puncture-resistant. They should also have a tight-fitting lid.
Unfortunately, only some fire departments have the capacity to accept sharps containers for disposal. Visit www.safeneedledisposal.org to find your local sharps disposal outlets or check with your local fire department to confirm their policies before dropping off any items. If you need an alternative disposal site, call your local pharmacy, hospital, or nursing home to inquire about sharps collection programs.
Medicare does not cover the cost of sharps containers for patients. Reach out to your pharmacy or state resources to learn about the loyalty programs they offer to help lower the cost of essential medical tools.
