A rigid, disposable container for safety containing and disposing of medical-surgical materials, including needles, syringes, scalpels and dressings after use, comprises five, lightweight plastic pieces which snap together without tools to form a closed container having a one-way barrier at a larger opening for the insertion of used materials therethrough, 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. A flush, lockable, sliding cover is provided on the container to close the disposal openings against passage of macroscopic material either partially during use or completely before disposal.
