    Disposing of Insulin needles

    What is the proper way to do this? Guess it is a stupid question but it feels weird just throwing them in the trash. My mom's living with me and now needs shots every day. Ugg

    You can buy a bio sharps box, but why pay? I put them in old HARD PLASTIC containers IE juice, detergent, cleaners etc...

    Me too. I use gallon containers and they can hold a lot of syringes.
