A secure disposable container assembly for medical sharps and waste comprises the combination of a substantially rigid box-like lower housing defined by upstanding front, back, and side walls terminating with a top having an upwardly extending rectangular opening for providing access to the housing, and a semi-cylindrical top curving about a generally horizontal axis secured along one edge of said top by a hinge and secured along the other edge by locking tabs for permanent securement thereto, an elongated horizontally extending access opening in said top for receiving a disposable syringe or the like, and a pivotable closure for said opening pivotably mounted about said axis within the top and having a receptacle area normally exposed to said access opening in a first position for receiving a disposed article and a curved surface for covering the access opening upon pivoting from said first position to a second position for dumping the article into said housing.
