| Where do you dispose of used syringes? MoCo |
| From a GLP1? I put the cap on and put it in my trash. |
| I was told to put sharps in a sturdy hard plastic milk bottle or similar (like Tide), and put them in the trash. |
You're not supposed to do that. Hard container, close the lid tight, then trash. |

Into a sharps container and then into the middle of the trash

| I have one of those needle snip scissors things. I snip off the needle and trash the syringe. Needle stays in snippy scissor thing. Same one for 10+ years and it hasn’t gotten full yet. |
Wow 😲😲😲😲😳 SMH |
Aww get off it. It has a cap and litteraly no one is touching my trash. |

You're supposed to use a sharps container.
In reality, we sometimes use a sharps container (OJ, detg bottle), sometimes directly in the trash with the cap on. Flame away. T1 for decades not a glp-1. |
I chaperoned a preschool visit to a MoCo trash facility: people are sorting this trash, OP. Needles are incredibly risky for employees, they can transmit HIV and other deadly diseases, in addition to pricking them and contaminating them with the bacteria found in the trash and giving them blood poisoning. That cap is not safe. GET A SHARPS CONTAINER. You are part of the problem. |
Selfish selfish selfish. People DO sort trash. |
I have litteraly been to the dump, a big truck brings it in and dumps it out. No sorting. And even if they do, they have gloves that protect them. The real risk is someone going through my trash before it makes it to the dump which is a non issue where I live. I’m not in MoCo though. Not selfish at all. Just not freaking out over something that carries nearly zero risk . |
Lazy af! Do you think the rules don't apply to you? |
+90000 sick of people like this! |
Do you work at the dump? |
