What materials are medical sharps containers made from?
Medical sharps containers are typically made from rigid, puncture-resistant plastic that is leak-proof and durable. The material is designed to safely contain hazardous sharps and prevent accidental injuries.

Items that should not be placed in a sharps container include non-sharp medical waste (like bandages or gloves), household waste, medications, and any item that is not considered a sharp. Only sharp objects that pose a risk of puncture or cutting should be disposed of in these containers.
