You're supposed to save the boxes they come in?


I still have yet to figure out how and where to dispose of the Sharps containers. No idea who to give them to. I've only gone thru three or four of them and am keeping the full ones on top of the freezer in the store room. I do have one ginormous Sharps container that I've only tossed a few syringes into. It's such a huge container that it wont fit on my countertop by the sink. It also lives in the storeroom with the other Sharps. It's the one I use if the Sharps container that I keep in my bathroom gets full.

Last time I got a shipment, it was from a new pharmacy. They sent me this flimsy little plastic box with a plastic lid. I cant get the lid to stay on...and that thing is supposed to be a Sharps container?? I like the ones the look like red milk bottles.
