What do you guys do with them, I want to dispose of them the right way and not just toss them in the trash.

in my needle exchange they give u this small plastic container and you pop all youre sharps in there,whn its full up it seals tight and its then for incineration only this friday did i have to bring a small boy home who had nicked himself with a syringe that some junkie had tossed onto a kids playing field,there was blood around the needle and theyd to go to 3 different hospitals before he was attended to,so please try and dispose of them safely
man, that's a freaky story... I never even thought of that kind of stuff happening... wish people would be more responsible... at least somewhere other than a playing field...Originally Posted by celticd

I put mine into old coffe cans and have heard that some people use bleach bottles. Just as long as there is a thick lining that they cannot puncture you should be ok throwing them away with the rest of the trash. And if someone (i.e. LE) should decide to go through your trash and get poked by one, well...
Can you bring them to the local Hospital and let them deal with them, I could tell them it was for my Horse or some shit. I know they are suppose to go into some Bio container then to dispose. I just hate to toss them in the trash, they will end up on some beach.

I put mine in an old 6lb protein container the kind with the screw on lid. When it is full I tape the ship out of it write bio hazard on it and toss it.
Protein tub, toss them in and fill with that spray foam insulation. It'll harden and then there's no worries....just toss it in the trash.

I plan on taking mine to work and dumping them into a sharps container but I'm going to transport them in an old pickle jar.![]()
I just put the plastic cap back over it. Then put it in the container of my choice and throw it away. If someone opens the container pulls the cap off and then stabs themselves it is there own fault.

re cap and place in a old coffee container..
+1. the sharps still have a covering too, so chances of puncturing the container are nill. if someone goes through the trash, untapes a container that says "biohazard" on it, opens it, unsheathes a syringe by accident, and stabs himself, he's an idiot.Originally Posted by SilverBack_69
i give to the homeless they know wat to do w/ em!
Not sure where you live but here is a website which shows needle exchange programs in the U.S.A
http://www.nasen.org/
It's great here in OZ because you walk in pick up syringes, exchange; no questions.
Keep it Safe and discard your syringes appropriately.
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/4239/warning.html
and another site listing exchange programs.
Just do a search on Google, keyword needle exchage programs. There is a lot of info about it and where they are.
Throwing in the trash is just ****ing lazy.
Homeless PEOPLE are NOT TRASH!Originally Posted by Adrenalin

i dig pits and fill up with my used ones and cover it up and watch when ppl fall in and get stabbed.
