Abstract: A medical waste disposal container has a unitary body structure formed of a substantially flat sheet having a plurality of laminated layers of compact fiberboard, and one or more thin pliable layers of absorbtion resistant plastic material. The laminated sheet material contains a plurality of foldable sheet portions that are scored, wrapped at corners and adhesively joined together to define a bottom, sidewalls and a top of the body structure. The top has an opening, that is closeable by way of a flap formed in the sheet material, for insertion of discarded medical waste. The interior of the container is preferably coated with an absorption resistant material to effectively provide a leakproof seal at the intersections of its sidewalls and bottom.
