I put them in an old margarine tub with all the other sharps that I toss. I sure notice the difference when using new, sharp pins. It's almost as good as using a new rotary blade.

When a pin seems dull or bent I drop it in a small diabetic used needle container I bought at the drugstore for a couple of dollars. It's been years and that container is not full yet. No one will mistake these containers for anything else.

I'm going with MinnieKat's suggestion ... from now on I am going to sacrifice and buy safe M&M containers and eat the M&Ms first, then use the container to properly dispose of sharps.

those sharps containers cost a fortune to dispose of..according to the hospital.
i gave myself shots for 2 weeks, and decided to take the "sharps container" i had, to the hospital for disposal, and they about had a fit..they had to call about 3 different people in on the conversation, before i could leave them there. i showed them the script i had, and it came from them,after surgery. :roll: i think it would take a long time to fill a container..twice a year in my city, we have hazardous waste day..thinking maybe they will take them. |

I put them in an empty Tic-Tac container and dispose of them with my husbands insulin syringes (sharps container). The cute little lid is perfect for opening and closing and it doesn't take up too much room.

that is something I never even thought about. glad it came to my attention .
