Thread: Old Needles

    Old Needles

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

    I bought one of those bio containers at Wal Mart... it was like 8 bucks... they sell them everywhere... needles and syringes go in it and the they can't puncture the walls of it...

    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...

    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.

    Your right, I just want to do the right thing. Living near the ocean we see enough needles on the beach, I am really surprised with over 200 views that most just chuck them in the trash.

    +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.

    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.

    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.
