Abstract: The container is particularly adapted for use in the disposal of biohazardous waste. The container includes an outer corrugated paperboard carton in which there is disposed a plastic refuse bag. The carton includes a top cover which has side walls which overlap side walls of the carton and which is pivotally connected to the remainder of the carton for movement to a closed position. The bag is disposed in the carton with its top portion being bloused over the top of the carton. When the top cover of the carton is closed, the top of the bag is caught between the top cover side walls and the carton side walls and held in place. A pivoting access flap is formed in the top cover to allow waste material to be dropped into the bag through the flap.
