Black Sharps Bin

The Black Sharps Bin is a specialist clinical waste container designed specifically for the disposal of sharps contaminated with medicinal products. Commonly supplied by certified healthcare waste providers such as Daniels Health, black sharps bins are widely used across hospitals, GP practices, pharmacies, and home healthcare environments.

Manufactured from rigid, puncture-resistant polypropylene, this container ensures safe containment of used needles, syringes, insulin pens, and other sharp medical instruments. The secure lid features both temporary and final locking mechanisms to help prevent accidental needle-stick injuries and unauthorized access once sealed.

Black sharps bins are typically used for sharps containing pharmaceutical residues (other than cytotoxic or cytostatic medicines), in line with clinical waste color coding guidelines.
