Needle disposal
 
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"?

I think your local garbage service, hazardous waste, or hospitals should be able to tell you where to dispose of those items.

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.
