Place the in a sharps container

about 2 years ago

• Use FDA-cleared sharps disposal container or heavy-duty plastic household container to dispose a used needle. • Carry a portable sharps disposal container while traveling. • Do not throw needles without covers into the trash. • Do not flush needles. • Since needles are not recyclable therefore, do not throw them in recycling bins. • Do not recap, bend or break needles used by someone else. Accidental needle stick injury is a common cause of serious infections. • Always use a needle clipper to remove the needle otherwise, it may fall and lose or fly off injuring someone else.
