Great idea but I would suggest one step further and take them not to the trash but with you to your next doctors appointment and ask the assistant if they minded disposing of them in their "sharps container". They usually don't mind. and safe for everyone.
I'm sure they don't mind. But I doubt if a few pins in a prescription bottle will be any more dangerous than all the broken glass and other broken things in the landfill.
