The scalpel and needle apertures are especially shaped to detach scalpel blades (6') from their handles (6) and grip needle holders to remove them from syringes or catheters. The blade and needle remover consists of a container with an upper section (1) which covers its open end and has an upper surface with apertures (3, 4, 5) for scalpel blades, needles and larger items of waste respectively. The scalpel and needle apertures are especially shaped to detach scalpel blades (6') from their handles (6) and grip needle holders to remove them from syringes or catheters. The blade aperture has a slot and an inner surface against which the side of the blade is pressed, while the needle aperture has a tapering curved slot along which the needle holder is moved until it is gripped.
