ABSTRACT:
A sharps container has a receptacle, cover and tray and provides an improved locking mechanism to resist unauthorized tampering, as well as hermetically sealed construction to prevent any leakage of fluids from the container. The rotating tray provides an escapement mechanism for hands-free disposal of sharps through biasing the offset balanced tray into an open, receiving position to receive new items and deposit them into the interior of the container, and then returning to a nearly closed position. A locking mechanism is also provided to rotate the tray into a locking position thereby permanently closing the container and displacing the locking mechanism into the container interior so that the top surface of the locking mechanism is flush with the adjacent exterior container surface.
