An empty film canister for needles and narrow blades and an old Olfa plastic blade container for rotary blades. When full I seal up with tape and put in trash.

I always have Honey in the house for the grandkidlets. When the Honey Bear is empty I wash them and use them for discarded needles.
The hole is large enough to except all needles and pins. Good idea to put a clean Honey Bear container in a gift basket when making a gift for a stitcher, that way they always have a safe place for those unwanted needles. |
Great idea. I usually just throw them in the kitchen trash. Shame on me.

I don't have a used one. I buy honey in large quanity and refill my honey bear.

I use an old film container or old prescription bottle and poke a small hole in the lid and glue it shut. I then put a piece of masking tape with bad needles written on it around the bottle . This keeps the needles from falling out when I take the lid on and off. These kind of containers are easy to keep in my tote bags or in a drawer by my sewing machine for those needles.

I use a pill bottle with the word sharps on it, that way when I recycle nobody gets poked, I guess I should wright sewing sharps. God bless. Penny

Thank you for asking this question. I'd just been wrapping them in tissue and tossing into the trash but I like using a prescription bottle or any bottle or tin to dispose of them. Thank you for ideas!

Costco will take care of your old needles, as well as your empty prescription bottles! No need to remove your Rx info, they're just all shredded up!
