A closure lid for a rigid, disposable container for safely containing and disposing of medical-surgical materials, including needles, syringes, scalpels and dressings after use, comprises two lightweight plastic pieces which snap together without tools to form a closed container having a large opening for the insertion of used materials therethrough, which opening can be permanently sealed by sliding a flush cover to a closed and locked position preventing the inadvertent expulsion of macroscopic material from within the container. A one-way barrier is provided at the large opening for the protection of the user, which barrier can be removed if desired, and additional apertures having sharps-removing features molded therein to permit the simultaneous removal of sharps from associated devices and their disposal therethrough.
