Ok so this might be a stupid question but I'm a few days out from starting my cycle and it just dawned on me i have no idea how to properly dispose of my syringes lol

Do i need a sharps container? I'm in Cali we have sites you can take them to but is that necessary?

Am i a dick if i just toss them in the trash? Contrary to my screen name I'm not a dick head so i wanna make sure i do it the right way...any advice would be greatly appreciated!
