Abstract
A receptacle for used expendable hypodermic needles and syringes is disclosed. The receptacle includes a container having baffles as an upper closure, there being two baffles having openings off-set from each other so that items within the container will not be contacted by a person depositing another item into the container. One of the baffles can be moved to a closed position in which it closes the openings to seal off the container, and a tab locks the baffle in the closed position.
