I'm an insulin dependent person. To discard the needles safely and save the money from buying the 'sharps containers' which start about $30. I use a milk jug with a screw-on cap. Or juice or something that screws on. I bend the needle back or recap it and drop in. once it is filled I either superglue cap on or I use duck tape and I wrap and tape a paper lable such as this. The real one is orange, this one scanned pink, sorry but please if you need to use it make it orange. I don't know what to do to fix my color in this machine. Thanks Ruth
