MET Sharps Container Sizing Guide
11/4/2025
At Medical Environmental Technologies (MET), we provide sharps containers in several convenient sizes to fit every facility’s needs, from small clinics and dental offices to large hospitals and laboratories. Each container is FDA-cleared, puncture-resistant, leak-proof, and fully compliant with OSHA and DOT regulations to ensure safe and reliable disposal of needles, syringes, and other sharps waste.
Our 5-quart sharps container is perfect for small medical offices, exam rooms, and low-volume injection areas. It’s compact, easy to handle, and ideal for sites that generate minimal sharps waste.
The 2-gallon sharps container is a great choice for dental offices, outpatient centers, and veterinary clinics that produce moderate volumes of sharps. It offers a balance between size and portability, making disposal simple and efficient.
For larger facilities like hospitals, urgent care centers, and surgical suites, our 8-gallon sharps container provides ample capacity and convenience. It’s commonly used in settings that require regular weekly or bi-weekly pickups.
Finally, the 18-gallon sharps container is designed for high-volume generators such as hospital departments, labs, and multi-site healthcare systems. It accommodates bulk sharps waste safely and is ideal for facilities needing frequent service.
No matter your facility’s size, MET delivers safe, compliant, and cost-effective sharps disposal solutions across all of the United States. Our team provides scheduled or on-call pickups and can replace your full containers with new, clean ones at each visit, ensuring seamless compliance and peace of mind.
