- Sharps Container for Home Use and Professional 5 Quart (2-Pack), Biohazard Needle and Syringe Disposal, Mailbox Style Lid, CDC Certified

When I first unboxed this set of Oakridge Products containers, I was immediately struck by the sheer practicality and robust build quality of the 5-quart size. For anyone who manages regular injections, whether for medical reasons or even for pet care, the constant cycle of filling up tiny, travel-sized bins can be incredibly frustrating. These 5-quart beasts are a breath of fresh air because they hold a substantial volume of waste, meaning I am not running to the disposal center every other week. Getting a five-pack at once was a brilliant move for my supply closet; I now have enough reliable storage to last me for quite a long time, removing the mental load of constantly needing to reorder safety supplies. The standout feature here is undoubtedly the mailbox-style lid, which I have found to be vastly superior to the standard rotating or slide lids found on cheaper models. The mechanism is smooth and allows for true one-handed operation, which is critical when I am managing needles and don't have a free hand to fiddle with a cap. I simply drop the syringe into the chute, and it slides safely into the main compartment without me ever having to put my fingers anywhere near the existing waste. This design also acts as a fantastic barrier against accidental spills; even if the container were to get knocked over, the counter-balanced door keeps everything securely inside where it belongs. Safety is obviously the top priority with biohazard materials, and I feel completely at ease using these Oakridge Products bins because of the industrial-grade construction. The plastic is thick, rigid, and specifically designed to be puncture-resistant, so I never worry about a sharp point poking through the side while I am handling the container. Seeing that these are CDC certified adds an extra layer of confidence that I am adhering to the highest standards of safety in my own home. The translucent red plastic is also a thoughtful touch, as it allows me to easily monitor the fill level to avoid overstuffing, yet it masks the contents enough to look professional and discreet sitting on a shelf or counter. Beyond just the safety features, the versatility of having a five-pack has streamlined my entire routine. I decided to place one in the bathroom cabinet and another in the kitchen, ensuring that I always have a safe disposal method exactly where I need it, rather than carrying used sharps across the house. They stack neatly when not in use, and the assembly of the lid onto the base was satisfyingly secure—once it snaps on, you know it is locked for good. It handles everything from standard syringes and pen needles to lancets with ease, never jamming or getting stuck near the opening. Ultimately, this pack represents the perfect intersection of professional-grade safety and home-use convenience. It takes a mundane, necessary chore and makes it safer, cleaner, and much more efficient. I genuinely appreciate the peace of mind that comes with using a high-quality disposal system that doesn't cut corners. If you are looking for a reliable, high-capacity solution that prioritizes user safety above all else, this set is absolutely the way to go.

Sturdy, well-made containers at a good price! Easy to assemble and use, and the lid seals in everything securely. These will work well for disposing of my GLP-1 Injectors.

YES this is a great size and good value. Holds quite a bit of home use sharps. OSHA compliant material and design and info on how/where to properly dispose; ex. Local firehouse. I would buy again as needed.

So happy that these came in a two pack for a great price! My husband and I both take medication the requires sharps, so we do tend to fill these quite often. I chose these particular for the thin shape and style because they fit perfectly behind our toilet! They also fit easily under the sink if we need to lock it away when we have company. They make us feel safe and the quality is great. We will absolutely continue to repurchase for our needs!

Not sure why these boxes are so expensive. It take medication at home which involves needles and other nasties. So instead of leaving it in a zip lock bag that little hands can get into I decided to purchase this. Purchasing it through a pharmacy is insanely expensive and they are to small. Good size my wegovy injectors fit nicely. The next step is to figure out where to drop them off when they are full. I hope pharmacy or doctor's office excepts them. They should. Wish they issued these for free when you get needles .

Good size and quality with timely delivery.

The product is exactly what the description says. It is a sharps container that is easy to assemble. The size is what I was expecting. The trap door makes it easy to use, just like the ones found in clinics and hospitals. It has a locking feature for when it is full for safe disposal.

fit nicely in our permanent receptacle.
