Tring to find someplace to take used needles(sharps)from diabetic medicine from my dog?


Question:
i use 2 needles a day and they're filling up a jar i have. they have a short needle on the end of a 20 unit seringe

Answers:
take them to your vet and let them dispose of them
local hospital, in their lab
instead of a jar check your nearest medical waste plant. they will set you up with a legal sharps container and then exchange it when it is filled . they will then incinerate the needles.
Take them to your dogs vet.
They also have a drop box in bathrooms of truck stops for diabetic's.
Clinics, Hospitals, etc.
CALL YOUR DOC ASK IF YOU CAN DROP THEM IN THERE WASTE NEXT TIME . I SEAL MINE UP IN 2 LITER BOTTLE TAPE AND LABEL USED NEEDLE DONT TOUCH AND TOSS IN TRASH
if you are getting the insulin from your vet, they should also give you a sharps container. they should tell you to bring it back to them to dispose of properly when the container is 3/4 full.
sometimes local fire departments will take them. you can buy sharps containers at pharmacies.

if they are in a sealed container throw them away.
