A disposable receptacle for receiving and retaining for disposal a used hypodermic syringe comprising a body in the shape of the frustum of a pyramid and formed of two mating halves joined together along a vertical plane comprehending the pyramid axis, each half being molded of a light inexpensive plastic material and defining half of a orifice extending from the top of the pyramid down partially toward its bottom. Inside the upper rim of the orifice formed by joining the two halves is a recess provided with resilient means to permit the syringe cap to be passed into the orifice but retained against withdrawal therefrom. Thereby the syringe may be withdrawn from its cap for use and re-inserted after use for disposal with the receptacle body.
