Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 2 Litre Sharps Container used for?
The RE2LS Sharps Container is designed for the safe collection and disposal of used needles, syringes, lancets and other sharps waste. Its 2 capacity makes it well suited to treatment rooms, vaccination clinics, pathology collection centres and other healthcare environments where a moderate volume of sharps waste is generated.
What types of waste can be disposed of in this container?
The container is suitable for a range of approved clinical sharps waste, including needles, syringes, lancets and other small sharps items. It may also accommodate associated contaminated materials where permitted by facility protocols and local waste management regulations.
Does the container have a secure locking system?
Yes. The RE2LS features both temporary and final closure positions. The temporary closure helps restrict access between uses, while the final lock permanently secures the contents once the container reaches capacity, supporting safer handling and disposal.

When should the container be replaced?
The container should be replaced once the contents reach the designated fill line. Overfilling can increase the risk of sharps injuries and may compromise safe waste management practices. The final closure should always be engaged before transport and disposal.
