I found a hospital near me that takes used syringes as part of their program for diabetics. I feel much better about taking the syringes there than throwing them in the trash.

The nurse at the clinic that trained me on Copaxone told me to throw the needles in a heavy plastic container, duct tape the top, and throw it in the trash. I was was incredulous that the hospital would recommend this. She said that's what they tell people, otherwise they would have too many needles to dispose of.
