Thread: disposal of syringes / needles

Needle exchange.

Get a needle disposer if possible, milk jugs also work well.

old protein tubs if you have one, coffee cans, milk jugs. Make sure you tape the cap on too...

I use a big monster can

personally, i rather not have mine stockpiled in some big canister. I just throw them in the trash after each use. Covered of course.

I got a legit needle disposal canister online. A locking one that the hospitals have.

I put mine in a 2 liter bottle or sharps container and burn it every now and then when it gets full. I put the bottle in my burn barrel with some gas and cardboard and let it burn. I wouldn't do this if you don't have a barrel to contain what may not burn or melt. Not a proper way of doing this but it works for me.

If you say "donate" instead of "give" you can claim them on your taxes for charitable donation.

Even better!

A Needle & syringe programme (NSP) or syringe-exchange programme (SEP) is a social policy based on the philosophy of harm reduction where injecting drug users can obtain hypodermic needles and associated injection equipment at little or no cost. Many programmes are called "exchanges" because some require exchanging used needles for an equal number of new needles. Other programmes do not have this requirement.[1] The aim of these services is to reduce the damage associated with using unsterile or contaminated injecting equipment.

Google to find one near you.

I just re-use the same needle,... going on 4 years now.

Wish there was a like button in here

I'd just get a hazmat container they are cheap

empty liquid laundry soap container

I make darts out of them and hunt small game with a blowgun

I take mine to the trash in their own plastic bag after removing and recapping all the needles. I bend over the slin needles and recap them as well. Make sure you don't throw them away with any of the rest of your trash or receipts that may be traced back to you. Use public dumpsters if possible.

Walmart - sharps container less than 2.00 bucks - Most Kaiser hospitals accept them for disposal (in my area)

I just use the same one over and over again.
You fools are throwing away money...
