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.
Most drug stores carry sharps containers. You can find them in the areas where alcohol swabs are. They run between 3 to 4 dollars I believe. Keep one in your sewing room and when it is full you can take it to your local health department and they will dispose of it for you.
