How Much Fits Inside?
Capacity varies by sharps type and packing density, but typically holds:
- Approximately 2,500 – 5,000 syringes or pen needles (All sharps must be placed in a separate sharps container first before placing into this system, loose sharps are not allowed in this system.)
- Thousands of lancets
- Auto-injector pens and injection devices
- Empty medication vials and small treatment items
- Several smaller sealed sharps containers
This allows many practices to ship back waste monthly or quarterly instead of managing frequent small containers.
When to Size Up
Choose a larger or additional system if:
- Your facility fills this container in under 4 weeks
- Multiple procedure rooms share one bin
- You generate tubing, kits, and bulk treatment waste
- High patient injection volume days are common
- You need fewer handling steps for staff
If you are returning containers more than once per month, increasing capacity can improve workflow efficiency and reduce handling time.
Capacity
18 Gallon System accommodates the following sharps containers:
- 1 Quart (up to 30)
- 1 Gallon (up to 6)
- 2 Gallon (up to 4)
- 3 Gallon (up to 2)
