What to do with used?

Hi guys,

How are you disposing of used needles? I've been just storing them in a hard plastic container until I figure out what to do with them...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I went to the drug store and got the container to store them in. But a plastic container should be just as good.

How or where do you throw them away after you've used them? I don't want to put them in a regular dumpster, or bring them into a hospital & try to explain they are dirty needles (don't want to look like a drug addict!)... Suggestions??

Different mixture and use insulin syringes next time?? :):) They're so tiny...and it's all one piece; just bend 'em over, and they're gone.. right into the trash.

I put mine in a sharps disposal container. A plastic bottle owr whatever will do just fine,too. once it is full, close it up and put it in the trash. The container is just protection so anyone handling the trash doesn't get jabbed with needles.

I read online that if you don't have a "sharps container" another lawful way to dispose of sharps is to use a heavy duty plastic bottle. ( I used an empty bleach bottle). Then when you are done with your shots, close the bottle, tape it shut and write "sharps" on the container before you throw it out.
Does that help you?

My hospital in the area will give you a sharps container for free. Just tell them you need it for insulin needles (Diabetic). Then you bring it back to them full and they give you a new one.
