I have been collecting my used needles in a container. Now, how do I dispose of them?
How do others dispose of their used needles? How do you get them "out of the house"? |

Hi Hopeless
 As well as the ones that Jo has left for you, I just wanted to add that I found State by State - Sharps Disposal Regulations on this website. Not sure how up to date it is though. http://www.bd.com/us/diabetes/page.a...=7002&id=10284 |
