[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter takes a daily injectable with a pen. We buy disposable sharps containers from amazon (they come in a multi pack) and 
toss them when they are full. It's what her doctor told us to do when she first started with the medication. [/quote]

What’s the point of putting them in a container if they are still going in regular trash?[/quote]

Preventing other people from getting poked by the needles. [/quote]

It has a cap on it. No one is getting poked.[/quote]

Caps come off. It's an extra layer of safety. [/quote]

What do you do about all the other sharp objects in your trash that aren’t needles?

This seems like massive overkill for literally the tiniest of needles.[/quote]

I don't routinely put very sharp objects in the trash. In any event, they aren't the same kind of biohazard that used needles present. Also, tossing them in an old detergent jug is dead easy and, frankly, pretty convenient - not "massive overkill." [/quote]
