Medical waste containers are specialized receptacles used for the safe disposal of medical waste. These containers can be classified into four categories: Sharps containers, medical waste collection bags, biohazard bags, and biomedical waste bins.

Sharps containers are designed to safely collect and dispose of sharp medical instruments such as needles and syringes. Medical waste collection bags are used to collect non-sharp waste items like used gloves, gowns, and other medical supplies. Biohazard bags are used to collect and dispose of any biological material that may pose a threat to human health. Biomedical waste bins are designed to contain large volumes of medical waste and are typically used in healthcare facilities such as hospitals.

Proper use of medical waste containers is essential to maintain a clean and healthy environment in healthcare facilities and prevent the spread of disease.
