Why a container and not a bottle

Used needles cannot go in household waste anywhere in Australia. A proper sharps container is rigid polypropylene, puncture resistant, yellow so it is recognisable to whoever handles it next, and it has a temporary closure you can operate one handed and a final closure that cannot be reopened.

A drink bottle fails on every one of those. It is not a container, it is a hazard with a lid on it.

Sizing and filling

Fill to the line and not past it. The line exists because an overfull container cannot be closed safely, and a container that cannot be closed safely is the problem it was bought to prevent.

0.5L suits a bag or a bathroom cupboard. 1.4L is the bench size for someone injecting regularly. Wall mounted containers for a treatment room are in clinic and disposal.

Questions about sharps container, bench

If yours is not here, the contact form routes to the person who can answer it.

Where do I dispose of a full sharps container in Australia?

It depends on your state or territory. Community pharmacies, council collection points and hospital services all play a part, and the arrangements differ. Our guide to sharps disposal sets out what each state does.

Can I put needles in the household bin if I cap them first?

No, and recapping is itself the most common way people get a needlestick injury. Use a sharps container.

What size sharps container do I need?

0.5L for a bag or a cupboard, 1.4L for a bench if you inject regularly, and a wall mounted container for a treatment room.
