Sharps Disposal
If your sharps container becomes full before you can return it to your hazardous waste center or drs office to get another one, you can use a detergent or fabric softener bottle or metal coffee can to store them till you can make the trip. Just seal the lid with tape and write sharps across the front. The material in the bottles is heavy enough that no one can get accidentlly punctured by the needles. By no means use soda or milk containers the plastic is too soft. I work for the sanitation dept and this is what we recommend.
