For central waste collection

18 L medical waste bucket

Model: PK180 · HTI medical buckets

An 18 liter plastic medical waste bucket in yellow or red, with a lid, a plastic handle, and an OPEN tamper-evident seal. It goes where waste from every floor ends up: the central collection room of a hospital or the holding area of an outpatient clinic. The catalog lists it for medical waste, Class B waste (by Kyrgyz sanitary classification), used needles, and disinfectant wipes. We mold it in Bishkek and ship across Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.

Specifications

18 L bucket specifications

The 18 liter medical version uses the same body as the food-grade one but comes with different fittings: colored polypropylene, its own lid, and a plastic handle instead of a steel bail. The tables below give the dimensions from the catalog sheet and what's included.

The body is wide and low: 332 mm across the top and 286 mm high. Almost two liters of headroom remain between nominal and brim, 1.9 L by ISO, so the lid closes without pressing on the contents. The 278 mm bottom diameter matches the 21 liter bucket, so both sizes take the same shelf width.

Purchase estimate

The 18 L bucket by the numbers

How much waste actually fits in the bucket depends on what goes in, and we won't make up a syringe count. What we can calculate exactly is capacity, pallet quantity, and packaging weight, which is exactly what your facilities team needs for a purchase request and warehouse space.

All values come from the catalog sheet: 18 L nominal, 19.9 L by ISO, 526 g weight, and 600 pcs per pallet. If your facility closes buckets before they reach nominal fill, recalculate the count from your actual fill level. Your sales manager can do this for your annual volume.

How many pallets and trucks for 18 L medical buckets

A pallet holds 600 buckets and stands 2.76 m high. A mega trailer with a 3 m high body takes 10 pallets, or 6,000 pcs. Enter your quantity and we'll show the pallets, packaging weight, and truck loading.

Applications

Typical uses for the 18 L bucket

Eighteen liters is not a size for a nurses' station but for the place where waste from the whole building accumulates. Staff bring it from the floors to the central collection room, where it is held in larger containers until pickup for disposal. Multi-specialty hospitals, maternity hospitals, and outpatient clinics in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan order these buckets.

Hospital building

When a hospital has a dozen departments, it is easier to bring all waste to one room. There, the 18 liter bucket serves as a holding container: more capacity means fewer containers on the shelf and fewer entries in the waste log.

Class B waste

This is one of the uses listed in the catalog. The closed bucket stays in the collection room until pickup, and the OPEN seal shows whether it has been opened since it was closed.

Used needles

For needles, the catalog offers the full range from 1 L to 21 L. A large size is the choice where needles pile up in one spot, such as a vaccination or treatment unit with a high patient flow.

Two colors on one shelf

Yellow and red buckets of the same size stand side by side without mix-ups: the color shows on both the body and the lid. Which color goes with which waste stream is set by your facility's color-coding scheme.

What's included

What's included with the 18 L medical bucket

Lid matches the body color

The yellow bucket comes with a yellow lid that has a round red hatch panel in the center. The red bucket gets a solid red lid. Since the lid repeats the body color, you can tell buckets apart from above even when they stand close together.

Plastic handle

Weighs 12.8 g and is made entirely of plastic. The food-grade version of the same size uses a 60 g steel bail with a plastic grip instead; the medical version has no metal at all.

Yellow or red

The body is molded in one of two colors. A hospital that sorts waste by stream should order both colors in one shipment and agree in advance how many pallets of each.

Text and logo

Your facility's text and logo are applied with a label. It goes on the finished bucket, so you can start with a trial order.

Food-grade version

Food-grade 18 L bucket: same body, steel bail handle

For non-medical uses, such as extracted honey, paint, or emulsion, see the white food-grade 18 liter bucket. It has the same dimensions and pallet quantity; only the fittings differ.

  • White body for labels and printing
  • 60 g steel bail handle
  • White plastic grip on the bail so a full bucket doesn't cut into your hand
  • The medical version has a plastic handle and no metal at all

Nearby sizes

18 L, 11.5 L, or 21 L

The nearest sizes in the medical line are 11.5 L below and 21 L above. The 18 L and 21 L buckets share the same diameters and pallet quantity, while the 11.5 L differs in footprint: it is narrower, so more fit on a pallet.

On the same pallet, the 21 L bucket gives 12,600 L versus 10,800 L, but its body is 47.5 mm taller. In a collection room where buckets sit on shelves, the shelf spacing often decides. The 11.5 L bucket fits more per pallet (816) but holds fewer liters: 9,384 L.
