I like the candy mints that come in a metal tin. I've found that the little tin with the snap-close lid is perfect for disposing of used sewing machine needles and bent/dull pins. I wrapped a piece of tape around the tin that says "Sharp-Used Needles" so nobody accidentally spills it. It fits in a small area and I don't need to worry about pins/needles poking through my plastic trash bags. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I put mine inside tin cans in my trash bin. I don't cut the tops completely off, so with the lid pushed back the chances of them falling out are small. There's usually plenty of other stuff in my trash to keep them from poking out!! :-)
