You're lucky. They pay big bucks to have medical wastes picked up and properly disposed of.

I saved an International Coffee's tin and cut a slit in the lid - I put old blades - needles, and damaged pins in it. I will take it to a junk yard, and give it to them, they will recycle it, and no worry about someone getting hurt.

Are they "as good as new" when you get them back?
