Can the syringe or needle sheath be considered its own sharps container if the contaminated needle is covered permanently?

0

No. The 2001 revised Enforcement Procedures (CPL 2-2.69) clarify this issue and state the needle sheath is not to be considered a waste container because it is viewed as a temporary measure. All sharps safety devices must be disposed of in an appropriate sharps container.
