Abstract:
Apparatus and method for the interim sanitary storage of medical sharps and subsequent inurnment of them to a condition acceptable in commercial landfills. A receptacle contains dry calcium hypochlorite to sanitize sharps that are placed in the reception. It has a removable closure cap to admit the sharps. A supply container contains cementitious material to which water is added, and then poured into the receptacle to envelop the sharps. A permanent lock is applied to the receptacle cap to prevent further access or escape of the sharps which are encapsulated in the resulting cementitious urn.
