Hi I found this neat tip today and thought what a good idea it was, here it is:
"I go through needles quite quickly. It was always a dilemma as to how to dispose of them. I finally hit upon the idea to use an old saltshaker that sat on one of my shelves in my sewing room. Now I just pop the old needles in, and I don't have to worry about stepping on pieces or the pets getting into the wastebasket, etc."
Got to go find a saltshaker now LOL

I do the prescription bottle as well or I save the old needle boxes for SCHMETZ needles...or I have also created a square of leftover coaster (fabric with the stiff stuff in the middle) that I slide them into...
I always worry if I break a needle about the little peices.

If you still have a 35mm camera, the little plastic containers the film comes in works great too. WHEN it comes time that you've actually filled the container, make sure to make a note & tape it securely to the container when you put it into the waste.
