Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the 0.6 litre yellow sharps bin you sell?
The 0.6 litre grey base with yellow lid sharps bin is a highly compact, used sharps/needles container. It has a semi‑translucent lid with a clear fill line, snap tight temporary closure and final lock, a highly puncture resistant base, and simple carrying handle. This sharps bin is certified to ISO 23907‑1:2019, UN3291 and BSI Kitemark, which allows for the UK-compliant disposal of clinical sharps.
Why use a yellow sharps bin for clinical waste?
In the UK, the colour coding system assigns yellow lid bins for sharps contaminated with medicines, biohazardous chemicals or bodily fluids, which ensures the correct disposal of the sharps bin by incineration.
How do I safely dispose of a full yellow sharps bin?
Once the fill line has been reached inside the sharps bin, close the lid and use the permanent lock. Dispose of the sharps bin via a licensed clinical waste contractor under UK law, making sure that incineration is specified for yellow sharps bin disposal. Do not fill the bin past the fill line, as this could result in a needlestick emergency, and resulting in cross contamination and further injury.
Is this sharps bin leak resistant and puncture proof?
This sharps bin has a puncture resistant polypropylene base, excellently welded construction, and is highly leak resistant to safely contain sharps, and to minimise needlestick risks.
