Bumping into a full sharp container

Sometimes these daniels smartsharp containers are not on the best place on the wall and you can bump into them. Are you at risk bumping into a full sharp container that doesn't retract anymore?
I can't imagine that unless sharps are exposed there would be much/any greater risk than coming into contact with anything else in the room. The more important question is why aren't the sharps bins emptied/replaced prior to getting to the point of so full they no longer close? Does the facility need to increase the schedule for emptying/replacing? Do the containers need to be larger?

I don't think it was full. I think it was the secondary tubing that got it stuck and messed up the mechanism.

Unless there are needles dangling out of the closed Sharps box, how could anyone get hurt?

Quote from Been there,done thatIf you notice a sharps container stuck open, it is your responsibility to replace the container.End of problem.

We are responsible to switch our own.

We call housekeeping to change ours.

Which kind do you guys use?
