Do not throw away (dispose of) your used syringes and needles in your household trash.
If you do not have a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container, you may use a household container that is:
o
made of a heavy-duty plastic
o
can be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharps being able to come out
o
upright stable during use
o
leak-resistant
o
properly labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container
When your sharps disposal container is almost full, you will need to follow your community
guidelines for the right way to dispose of your sharps disposal container.
There may be state or
local laws about how you should dispose of used syringes. For more information about the safe
sharps disposal, and for specific information about sharps disposal in the state that you live in, go to
Do not dispose of your used sharps disposal container in your household trash unless your
