Hi Liza,
Unfortunately at times sharps (needles, razors, ampules etc) are found in soiled laundry. The sharps bin in the laundry enables at the point, safe disposal – rather than transport to a sharps container else where.
All sharps container requirements would need to be upheld – i.e. height, fixed, plastic material compliant, filling line, container close and removal.
Regards Carrie
