8L Sharps Container Guide for Healthcare Waste Management

An 8L sharps container is useful for facilities that generate more needles, blades or lancets than a small container can manage, but do not need a very large sharps bin.

Where it works well

Clinics, laboratories, dental practices, vaccination rooms, treatment rooms, tattoo studios and mobile healthcare teams can use 8L sharps containers where sharps volumes are moderate.

Safe use tips

• Keep the container near the point of use.
• Do not force items into the container.
• Close it at the fill line.
• Never empty or reuse it.
• Arrange collection when full or scheduled.
