Abstract: A disposable container for biohazardous medical waste comprising a cylindrical, tapered body having a circular bottom attached on one end and a circular lid secured in place on an opposite end by interlocking tabs and slots. Located above the lid are handles formed integrally with the body of the container for use in transporting the container without contacting the medical waste contained therein. The lid is secured in place and cannot be deliberately or accidently removed without damaging the container. The bottom, body, and lid of the container are constructed of solid fiber paperboard which is both leak and puncture resistant and readily flammable for efficient incineration. The tapered geometry of the body permits easy stacking of the containers thereby requiring a minimal amount of storage space.
