A non-openable container such as for disposal of medical waste or containment of hazardous materials. The container is adapted for optional engagement with a removable cap prior to insertion of medical waste or hazardous materials and with a non-openable and non-breachable, one-way engaging cap which renders the container non-openable except with destruction of the container. To ensure secure non-openable closure of the container, the peripheral edge of the skirt of the one-way cap has a plurality of circumferentially arranged ramped teeth extending longitudinally on the interior wall of the cap to the lower edge of the skirt. These teeth cooperatively engage oppositely extending teeth on a shoulder of the container or other peripherally extending fixed-in place element. The opposing teeth mesh longitudinally and are held in a non-back-off position by the engaged threads, bayonet mount or other engaging means between the cap and container. The teeth are not externally accessible and attempted deformation of the cap and container causes them to move, if at all, as a unit without disengagement of the intermeshed teeth. The container and cap are constructed of break resistent low-deformable material to resist breakage and manipulative disengagement of the cap from the container.
