Guide & full description
Complete guide: 7 Litre Plastic Sharps Container for Needles and Cutting Waste
A disposable container for the safe collection of sharps waste — exactly the type of container mandatory in a tattoo studio, but equally used in clinics, laboratories, veterinary practices, and cosmetic units. It is made of rigid, puncture-resistant polypropylene, has a yellow color according to hazardous medical waste identification codes, and a tight lid with two closure positions: one temporary, for the collection period, and one permanent, which seals the container without the possibility of reopening. The total capacity is 7 liters, and the usable capacity is 6.15 liters.
How to use
- Inspect the container before first use: do not use it if it has cracks, deformations, or any signs of damage.
- Assemble the lid onto the container body and ensure it is tightly fixed.
- Place the container stably, as close to the work area as possible, and open the cap in the temporary position.
- Insert sharps waste (needles, used cartridges, blades) directly into the container immediately after use, without additional handling.
- Between uses, close the cap in the temporary position to limit accidental access to the contents.
- Fill the container only up to the marked line — never above the indicated level.
- When you reach the line, close the cap in the permanent position: the system prevents reopening and protects against accidental leaks. Then complete the label with the necessary information.
- Hand over the sealed container to an authorized operator for neutralization at a specialized medical waste center.
Tips from us
- Keep the container near the workstation so that the used needle or cartridge goes directly into it — the less you transport a contaminated sharp object through the studio, the lower the risk of a needlestick injury.
- Do not put the protective cap back on the needle before disposal ("recapping") — this is one of the most common causes of accidental needlesticks; discard the needle directly into the container.
- Never stuff or press the contents to make more room — if you have reached the marked line, seal it and move to a new container.
- Write the required information on the label (e.g., the start date of collection and the unit's details) — the collection operator will request it at handover.
- Keep the product's classification data handy — waste code 18 01 01 and ADR classification UN 3291, classes 6.1 and 6.2 — for the contract and records with the authorized collection company.
- Being disposable, the container is never emptied or reused, no matter how clean it looks.
Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for a tattoo studio or only for hospitals?▾
It is designed for any unit that generates sharps waste: the manufacturer explicitly mentions hospitals, clinics, laboratories, veterinary practices, and cosmetic units. A tattoo studio produces exactly this type of waste (needles, needle cartridges, disposable blades), so the container is the correct choice and, in practice, a basic requirement for studio hygiene.
What am I allowed to throw in it and what not?▾
Only sharps waste: tattoo needles, used cartridges, blades, and other contaminated sharp objects. Potentially contaminated soft waste (gloves, wipes, protective films) is collected separately, in packaging intended for that type of waste — the rigid container is reserved for objects that can puncture.
How full am I allowed to fill it?▾
Only up to the line marked on the container. Although the total capacity is 7 liters, the usable capacity is 6.15 liters — the difference is intentional, so you can safely seal the lid without sharp objects reaching the closure area.
I accidentally closed it permanently. Can I still open it?▾
No. The permanent closure system prevents reopening — it is a safety measure that guarantees no one can access the sharp objects inside. Therefore, during collection, only use the temporary lid position and switch to permanent closure only when the container is filled to the line.
How do I get rid of the container after it is full?▾
It is sealed permanently, the label is completed, and it is handed over to an authorized medical waste collection operator for neutralization at a specialized center. It is not thrown in household trash. The product data helps with handover: waste code 18 01 01 (sharps), ADR classification UN 3291, classes 6.1 and 6.2, plus packaging certifications 3H2/Y3/S/E/J-3009 and 3H2/Y3/S/E/J-3010.
How do I choose the right container size?▾
Depending on your workload and how quickly you want to rotate containers. The 7-liter version is a medium capacity, suitable for a workstation with constant activity: large enough not to change it every few sessions, but compact enough to sit next to the work area and fill up within a reasonable timeframe. If you work infrequently, a smaller container seals and is handed over faster; if the studio has high traffic, you can use one container per workstation.
