An in-room sharps container for hospital rooms and the like provides superior safety, versatility and economy by featuring a tapered, stackable body with a permanently hinged cover which is irreversibly interlockable with the body and which carries a semicylindrical dome covering the major portion of a pivotable semicylindrical dump tray. The dump tray can be permanently locked for disposal of the container by an over center biased pin which locks the dump tray in the closed position. A stepped notch is provided in the cover above the tray for unscrewing and dumping blood collection needles without touching them. Hollow carrying handles project personnel from contact with contaminants on the exterior of the container when it is being carried. |
