my doctor's office lets me drop mine off there in their sharps disposal box, you might ask yours so you could just take them with you to your next appointment :)

Thanks all for the advice (and entertainemnt!).  A google search turned up a list of local hospitals that have free sharps container drop-off points.  Or I can mail them to you Dave!

Look up "Sharp disposal"  in google for your area. You should have a few different choices from there

My nurse said to contact our local waste disposal people and take it to them--just need to make the phone call to find out where to go. Just waiting to be DONE!!! I think it is going to be a happy trip, maybe even a parade!!

My online pharmacy sent me a "sharps container" to use for the safe disposal of my used syringes.  But what do I do with that container when I'm done with it?
