I got mine w/ an rx from my dr. I did not have to pay for it because of my insurance and the top locks shut when it is full and I close it. Then I take it to my pharmacy and they dispose of it properly. I also put my used lancets in it.

you can easily use an empty milk jug or laundry detergent bottle as a sharps container. when full, tape it up with duct tape and get rid of it like you would a regular sharps container.

Pros

easy sharps container out of household products…

Cons

I like using the sharps containers, I have one under my desk at work so I can put in my pen needles, as well as one at home. I just don't know where to put it once it is full. I seal it, tape it with straping tape so it cant open anywhere and put it in the garbage can.

Pros

Dont have to worry about my dog getting into my needles by accident.

Cons

As with any container you use, where to you deposit a full one

I get a new sharps container through my pharmacy free of charge because of the perscriptions that I get filled there. I also have gotten travel pack charps containers they come six to a pack and hold the needles for insulin and the sharps for the test kits perfectly.

Pros

keeps them away from little hands and protects the rest of your loved ones from accidetal pokes.

Cons

none

My state now allows the use of Red liquid soap
containers. However, there are special sites where they must be surrendered.
they can not be but curb side. Sharps containers must also be taken to special sites for disposal.

Pros

This works for me. We have recycling laws, if you break them there is a $20.00 fine per bag and
your garbage won't be picked up until fines are
paid.

Cons

none.

It just so happened that our local Sanitation Station was giving away Free Sharpes containers, the day after I found out that I was Diabetic. I had asked to purchase one at the Pharmacy & he told me to go the next day & get it for free.

Pros

I love the fact that all my sharpes are protected from anyone who comes to my home. Especially the children, but it also protects my pets.

Cons

none

What a great safe idea! I have 4 children, some of which can be a little "nosey". This is a great way to be sure they don't get into something that could be a little painful.

Pros

Safe and easy!

Cons

None that I can think of.

Keeps sharps in a safe container, but a milk bottle or coke bottle can work just as well. Don't need one at work, thett're all over.

Pros

the red color makes it easy to identify

My Pharmacy recommended that I buy the UltiCare pen tips for my Lanus pens. It comes in a sharps container. Tips on the bottom sharps into the top.

Pros

When I run out of tips I get a new container. Great deal. Also takes my lancets for my testing kit.

Cons

None so far.
