[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]

Medical waste is medical waste. Where do you live OP?
