Description

 2-Litre Sharps Bin – Secure, UK-Compliant Sharps Disposal

Keep staff and patients safe when disposing of needles and other sharps. The Steroplast 2-Litre Sharps Bin is a compact, high-integrity container designed for the safe segregation, storage and transport of clinical sharps. It features a hinged lid with both temporary closure (between uses) and a permanent lock for final seal prior to disposal, plus a clear maximum fill line and dedicated label area to aid compliance.

Key features

• 2-litre capacity – practical size for treatment rooms, trolleys, vehicles and first-aid stations.
• Hinged safety lid – with temporary and final (one-way) lock to prevent reopening once sealed.
• Wide, directional aperture – helps drop-in disposal of needles, syringes and lancets while reducing hand entry.
• Clear fill line – supports correct use and reduces overfilling risk.
• Durable polypropylene – puncture-resistant, leak-resistant and easy to wipe clean externally.
• Compliance-ready – UN-approved for clinical waste transport (UN3291) and designed to BS EN ISO 23907 (Sharps containers).
• Traceability label panel – write site/area, date of assembly, and responsible person details.
• Compact footprint – ideal for benchtops, trolleys, domiciliary visits and mobile clinicians.

Who it’s for

• Healthcare providers – GP/primary care, private clinics & hospitals, outpatient & community teams.
• Care homes & supported living – safe point-of-care sharps disposal.
• Dental practices – surgeries and decon rooms.
• Veterinary surgeries – treatment rooms and consult areas.
• Businesses & workplaces – first-aid rooms and occupational health where sharps are used.

How to use (best practice)

1. Assemble & label: Open the lid, complete the label panel (location, date, responsible person).
2. Temporary close between uses: Engage the temporary lock whenever the bin is unattended.
3. Do not overfill: Stop using the bin when contents reach the fill line (typically ~¾ full).
4. Final seal: Engage the permanent lock before transporting for disposal – the lid cannot be reopened.
5. Disposal: Arrange collection via a licensed clinical waste contractor in line with your waste policy.
