ABSTRACT:
A receptacle for disposal of used, sharp, medical instruments or other biohazards, comprising an upright container, which is closed except for a slot in a top wall, a chute which is mounted integrally to the top wall so as to extend downwardly, a shroud, which is mounted integrally to the top wall so as to extend upwardly, and a scoop, which is mounted pivotally to the top wall at a back margin of the slot. The scoop and shroud are configured so as to form a tray, which is adapted to hold one or more such instruments until the instruments held by the tray are discharged through the slot, via the chute, into the container. The scoop, shroud, and chute are configured so as to impede an object, such as a person's finger, which may have been inserted through the slot from reaching any such instruments in the containers. The scoop and chute are configured so as to impede any liquid contents of the container from splattering outside the receptacle.
