Kendall Volume Sharps Containers, Large

Great size for me, since I use three medications that require needle usage.

so I buy one every two years - cost less than most others that are smaller and since the town takes sharps for disposal at no cost - this is very economical and convenient.

Sturdy. Easy to use. Great for disposal of continuous glucometer and insulin pump sharps.

Works as expected.

Works great 👍.

I purchased a storage unit at auction that had about a dozen milk containers filled with dirty needles. It was an absolute nightmare! I called the police but they wouldn't take them. They told me to call the local dump, which was also a needle collection site, but the dump said they wouldn't take them unless they were in a sharps container. I told them I wasn't qualified to take the uncapped dirty needles out of the milk containers and transfer them, but they declined to help. I called everywhere that I could think of, but I got the same answer every time; transfer them into a sharps container. So I had no choice. I had to clean out the unit or be charged a large fee so I purchased this 5 gallon container on Amazon hoping it would be large enough. It arrived in 2 days. This container saved the day! I put on a thick pair of work gloves and proceeded to be brave and get it over with. I had been advised to take a utility knife and cut the bottoms out of the milk cartons to empty the needles. Thankfully the lid on the sharps container came off and I was able to dump them right in. It had just enough room for the 100's of needles, and I filled it to the rim. I snapped it shut on all 4 corners. It had a beveled edge on the red container underneath the lid, so I was able to easily pick it up and put it in the car to transfer it to the dump. Our local dump said they had never seen a container so big, but took it since it was an official sharps container. I'm very thankful that you make it in this size and delivered it so quickly and I hope to NEVER see another dirty needle again in my life!

I'm a type 2 diabetic who wears a CGM and takes a GLP-1 medication...so I generate a lot of bulky waste from those items.While this thing is big, bigger than your standard bathroom trash can, it holds those bulky sensor applicators and medication pens easily. I anticipate I'll get maybe a year out of it before I'll have to dispose of it (will likely need some shaking and shimmying to help with keeping things compact in there) - bonus is I could use my HSA money to pay for this. Will be back when I need another one!

I like the huge size. My Tandem insulin pump creates trash. This is perfect.
