What is Sharpsafe Purple Sharps Bin - 4 Litre?
A purple-lidded sharps bin is used to safely store and dispose of cytotoxic and cytostatic waste, such as disposable garments, medicinal vials, blister packs and patches.
Where should sharps bins be stored?
To ensure your sharps bin isn’t accessible to young children and it isn’t knocked over, they should be stored at eye level. It’s important that you always lock or seal the container after every use.
When should you dispose of your sharps bin?
You should arrange a collection for your sharps bin to be disposed of when it’s around ¾ full. Doing this reduces the risk of injury or cross-contamination when the waste is collected. You should not keep sharp waste for longer than a month.
