ABSTRACT:
A hospital waste receptacle is formed of two unitary blanks of corrugated paperboard, one blank forming a unitary outer container and the other blank forming a unitary inner container. The blank for the inner container may assume either of two forms to yield an inner container whose side walls either contact the side walls of the outer container, or alternatively, are spaced from them. The inner container is shorter than the outer container. The outer container has two main top closure panels, opposite to each other, with the inner top closure panel having a central opening for disposition of hospital waste therethrough. The outer top closure panel carries a pair of latches to secure it closed when the receptacle is full. The outer top closure panel also carries a pull out handle to assist in transporting the filled receptacle. In a modification, the top pull handle is omitted and opposite ends of the container provided with hand holes. A pair of spaced hollow beams extend along the sides of the container.
