B-D Sharps Containers, 5.4 Quarts, Red

Fits very well under my bathroom sink and holds a lot of used insulin pens and other sharps.

Best sharps container I've found so far. I do immunotherapy so have to get myself 2 shots every other day. Prior to this sharps container I had a smaller one which was a real pain to get the top off of each time. This one is so much better! The only thing I dislike is there are no instructions when you first get it and I almost made a big no no closing it for good. Thankfully my boyfriend was able to fix it. I was worried it would tip over spilling out the sharps if it fell, as it's never "closed" just balances shut would be the best way I can think of to explain it. I've had it for quite a while and no issues though. I will be purchasing another once this one if full. Highly recommend to those that have to do at home injections frequently.

I liked this sharps container very much. I take one Victoza injection a day, plus whatever lancet stick I need to do. This has lasted the better part of a year. Came unassembled but if I can assemble it, any one can. It’s too big is you gave a very small bathroom counter, but it’s not too big for a moderately sized vanity type counter. No complaints at all.

I was looking for a sharps container that would last me longer than a month or so and wouldn't waste "space" on the inside of. The regular 1 qt. containers tend to bottle up the used needles at the bottom. Because this container is horizontal (and large) the "pile up" instead and maximize disposal space. I am not giving this a 5 star review because it came pre-assembled. This normally wouldn't be an issue except it also came with the swivel lid closed (locked for disposal) and it took me almost 20 minutes of careful struggles to unlock it without breaking. I'm assuming that the person who assembled the container is unaware that by closing down the swivel lid it thus locks it. I prefer setting up the lid myself and making sure it is still usable! Besides it's ONE fault... otherwise great product and good value for your money!

I like that I can drop the syringe in sharps and all and it falls in and the entrance rotates, drops the syringe, and rotates back to accept more. No exposed sharps because of this feature.

I'm not sure what there is to say about this...my husband is diabetic and my dog gets allergy shots, so we needed a safe, reliable method to dispose of sharps, and this fulfills that function. It wasn't the cheapest one on the market, but we've bought from this manufacturer before so knew that it was a quality item that serves its function.

My doctor started me on Bydureon injections to help control my diabetes. Well, Bydureon comes with its own injector and it is huge! There was no way it was going to fit in my little sharps container. But this does the trick! This sharps container will stand up by itself - it doesn't need a base or wall mount either. The horizontal entry slot means you just lay (or drop) the syringe long-way in the slot and gravity does the rest. And once it's in the container, it isn't coming out.

I use the BD 305517 but got a Cardinal #8507SA which is similar but not exactly the same disposal hinge. The BD is a weighted hinge that will drop the needle just by the needle's weight and is pull down. The Cardinal is a tip up hinge and doesn't seem to be weighted to drop automatically. The BD is excellent. Here's hoping the Cardinal works as well. Needed to put it in service immediately so return for ordered product is out.

Good product, as shown
