Frequently Asked Questions

 

How do I dispose of a sharps container? ▼

Once the sharps disposal container has been sealed, it must be treated as clinical waste. UK regulations require disposal of a sharps bin through a licensed hazardous waste carrier; never through general waste. The sharps container should be taken safely to an approved disposal treatment facility.

How full can the sharps container get before it must be disposed of? ▼

It is important to fill the sharps container only up to the marked fill line, which is usually around three-quarters full. Overfilling the sharps bin compromises the safety and increases the risk of potential puncture injuries.

Is this sharps disposal kit portable enough for mobile or remote healthcare teams? ▼

This sharps disposal kit is highly compact and lightweight, making it more than suitable for mobile use.

What types of sharps can go into this sharps disposal container? ▼

The 0.3 L container is suitable for disposable needles, syringes, lancets, and other similar medical sharps.

Where should sharps disposal containers be placed in the workplace? ▼

It is recommended to place the sharps disposal containers close to areas where sharps are used, such as clinics or first aid stations, to minimise any risk. Regulations require clearly marked, secure containers to be available at point of use.

Can sharps containers be re-used or must they be single-use? ▼

Sharps containers are single-use only. Once sealed at the fill line, they must not be reopened or reused. Safe disposal of the sharps bin is mandatory.
