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 facilities should always follow their internal waste management procedures and applicable local regulations regarding acceptable waste streams.

What healthcare settings is the 24 Litre Sharps Container best suited for?

The container is commonly used in hospitals, emergency departments, day surgeries, 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 prevent access between uses, while the final lock permanently secures the contents when the container is full and ready for disposal.

How does the 24 litre capacity benefit healthcare facilities?

The larger capacity helps reduce the frequency of container replacements, supporting workflow efficiency and allowing staff to manage high volumes of sharps waste more effectively in busy clinical settings.

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 compromise safe disposal practices. The final closure should always be engaged 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 providers should also ensure their disposal procedures comply with applicable state, territory and organisational regulations.
