I bet you could get a sharps container from doctor or pharmacy. I always straight pins to hang things on the wall. Makes a small hole that can be painted over. I your are renting sure leaves less to have to reapir before moving.

The only way the sharpies will ever harm anyone (or anything, unless we get a mouse!) is if someone remodels the bathroom and takes the wall down. That ain't gonna happen in MY lifetime!

I just take my pins to a local recycler in a jar when I go recycle my pop cans etc and I just give the jar to the attendant. I wonder if it is a good idea to put the pins in a sharps bin as some times the pins contain alumanum were as the needles are solid steel.
