A '''sharps container''' is a single use container (as in once it's full, it cannot be emptied and re-used) that is used as a repository for used medical [[Needle|needles]], [[Scalpel|scalpels]], and otherwise contaminated sharp objects, and then disposed of. Worldwide standard practice is that needles or other sharp objects be placed immediately into a sharps container after a single use.
'''Shawn Porter''' is the body modification archivist of both his personal collection, and for lack of a better term, the curator of the [[Jack Yount Collection|Jack Yount Collection]]—one of the most extensive documentations of the early [[Piercing|piercing]] underground in America. He edited the [[SPC|SPC]] website from [[1995|1995]] to [[2005|2005]], co-founded [[ModCon|ModCon]], and was the host of ModCons 3.5 and 4.

Shawn also started the [[ScarWars|ScarWars]] project in late [[2004|2004]] as a means to unite the [[Scarification|scarification]] community and is a long-time [[BME QOD|BME QOD]] staff member.
Used sharp objects are dropped into the container without touching the outside of the container. Objects should never be pushed or forced into the container, nor should the container be over-filled, as damage may result.


== Disposal ==
__TOC__
It is not legal or safe to dispose of a sharps container along with ordinary garbage.  Local hospitals or other businesses that specialize in the disposal of medical waste can be contacted to properly dispose of a sharps container. When practicing at home (be it piercings, tattoos, scarifications, or even amputations) please be diligent about disposing of sharps in a legal and safe manner. Please remember that other people do come into contact with disposed garbage, and any improperly disposed of sharps could be an extreme health threat.
