Dangerous piercing equipment are stored in sharps containers, which are specially designed containers, to reduce the risk of damage and the spread of infection. Sharps containers are frequently used to store medical needles and any other pointed medical devices, such as IV catheters. Sharps containers must be sealed, appropriately labeled, and leak-proof. The disposal of biomedical waste is currently the main everyday problem facing medical professionals. Medical waste is disposable trash that is produced by hospitals, drug makers, academic institutions, and other healthcare providers. Among the trash are syringes, needles, contaminated glass, body scrapes, infectious bacteria, blood samples, and other objects. Calculations based on data collected by CPCB via the BWM App, for instance, show that as of May 10, 2021, India has produced approximately 45,954 tonnes of COVID-19 garbage. Since the beginning of the pandemic, 126 tonnes of COVID-19 waste have been generated daily, making up around 20% of the 614 tonnes of biomedical waste that the country generates each day.

Needles, syringes, and other sharp objects can be disposed away safely in sharps containers. The lid normally seals tight, and they are often made of hard plastic. For safe removal of the needle from the syringe before disposal, certain sharps containers have needle removers integrated into them. Two different Sharps container types exist. both reusable and single-use. Plastic single-use containers can be thrown away after each use. Metal or glass reusable containers can be disinfected for multiple uses. The needle/syringe disposal box, which is frequently used in clinics and hospitals, is the most popular kind of Sharps container. Needles and syringes can be placed inside these boxes' hinged lids without being touched.
