What types of waste can be disposed of in this container?

The container is intended for approved clinical sharps waste, including needles, syringes, lancets and similar sharps items. Healthcare providers should follow their internal waste management procedures and applicable local regulations regarding acceptable waste streams.

What healthcare settings is the 23 Litre Sharps Container best suited for?

The container is commonly used in hospitals, day surgeries, emergency departments, vaccination clinics, pathology services and other high-volume healthcare environments where large-capacity sharps disposal is required.

Does the container have a secure locking system?

Yes. The container features both temporary and final closure positions. The temporary closure helps restrict access between uses, while the final lock permanently secures the contents when the container is full and ready for disposal.

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

Is the container compliant with Australian sharps disposal requirements?

The RE Series Sharps Containers are manufactured to meet relevant Australian requirements for sharps waste containment. Healthcare facilities should also ensure their disposal procedures comply with applicable state, territory and organisational regulations.
