Which items should be thrown away in a sharps container? Check all that apply.

Sharps containers are for items that can puncture or cut skin. Needles and IV catheters have sharp points or edges, so they belong in a sharps container. Gloves are regular waste, and empty medicine vials generally go in the appropriate waste or recycling container unless they are contaminated or otherwise designated as hazardous.
