    Used Needles

    What do you guys do with your used needles ? I have been collecting mine and did not hink it was right to toss them in the trash. How do you guys properly dispose of yours ?

    take them to the pharmacist they have a way to dispose of them safely, do not throw them in the trash as it can be very dangerous to others

    you go and buy a "sharps container" and put them in it! they are like $4.00 and will hold like 3-4 cycles worth of needles! you do not need to put the entire syringe in there just the needle. you can then seal it and throw it in the trash! you just can not throw loose needles away, if they are in a container it is fine

    and if youre too damn cheap for a sharps container at the pharmacy. you could probably just use an old protein powder container. and then take it to the hospital when its full.

    dude dont throw them away. if a garbage man gets poked or anyone for that matter they'll be freaking out for months waiting to get aids test results. im sure you want to walk into a pharmacy with a bunch of used needles either. a ton of public bathrooms (malls, resturants, etc) are putting in more and more sharps containers for diabetics. best bet is throw them in there when no one is looking so you know you did the right thing and you dont l;ook like a drug addict walking into a pharmacy.
