What it is

A puncture-resistant container with a one-way lid, for anything that can cut.

What it solves

Needles, blades and broken glass in ordinary trash injure family members and waste workers.

What this kind of product gives you

  • Rigid walls that will not be punctured
  • One-way opening, so nothing comes back out
  • A printed fill line
  • A lid that locks shut when it is full

Who it is for

Anyone whose work produces anything sharp.

Why we picked it

Keeps blades and broken glass out of household trash. Check local rules for disposal.

What to check before you buy

  • Size against how quickly you fill one
  • That the lid locks permanently for disposal
  • The fill line: stop at about three quarters
  • Your local disposal rules first, since some programs only accept specific containers
