No drop-offs. No guessing local rules. No separate disposal fees.
Who This Size Is Ideal For (Commercial Use)
The 5-gallon sharps system is a mid-volume solution. It is best for facilities that generate sharps consistently throughout the week but don’t produce large procedure-room volumes every day. It’s commonly used where staff need fewer change-outs than small containers, while still keeping containers portable and point-of-use friendly.
Ideal for:
- Primary care and family medicine practices
- Urgent care centers with moderate patient flow
- Specialty clinics (allergy, dermatology, endocrinology, rheumatology)
- Med spas performing routine injections (Botox, fillers, PRP)
- Physical therapy and sports medicine clinics doing occasional injections
- Small veterinary clinics
- Dialysis and infusion satellite locations (low-chair count)
- Occupational health / employee health departments
- School or university health clinics
Why they choose this size:
It balances capacity and convenience; it's large enough to avoid constant replacement, but small enough to keep in exam rooms or treatment areas without becoming bulky or heavy for staff to handle. Most facilities use the 5-gallon when they fill 1–3 gallon containers too quickly, but don’t generate enough waste to justify a bulk (8–18 gallon) accumulation container.

You want only a few returns per year
