These bins are built to be secure and tamper-resistant, so the process remains lasting. Typically, opening a 1L sharps bin involves the following steps:

1. Inspect the lid: Check out the seals (or locks) on the lid. Mostly, Sharps Bins are sealed during the manufacturing process to ensure security and sterility.
2. Identify the opening mechanism: Some have a twist-and-lock mechanism, and you have to turn the lid slightly to release it. Some may have a snap-on lid, and you have to press along the edges to secure it in place.
3. Remove seals: Peel or cut off a tamper-evident seal or strip gently. This is common for new bins.
4. Fit the lid: If your bin does not have an attached lid, simply put the lid on the top of the bin and press it down until it fits securely.
5. Locate the disposal slot: When you’ve got the lid on, locate the slot or flap for dropping sharps. Ensure the opening mechanism is working properly.
6. Check for safety: Make sure that the lid is firmly attached and can't easily be removed during use. 

Just make sure to check the bin or packaging for instructions if you’re unsure. Moreover, the bin also comes with a clear diagram or written instructions to guide you properly.
