Pin disposal Japan

[Dime100]

I've found myself caught in quite the curious situation. I have used pins but I'm not sure how to dispose of them here.

I read that pharmacies and clinics or hospitals can take used needles but not without a prescription.

I feel that throwing them away in the trash is wrong too.

Is there anyone else here that knows the method?

Shameless self bump.

Get a bleach bottle. Cut a hole in the neck and use it as a biohazard. Be sure to write biohazard on the bottle. We do this for home care patients.

But how do you dispose of it then. It doesnt disappear

I thought about putting them in a plastic container of some sort and taping it shut. The plastic trash all gets crushed when picked up anyway I think. So as long as the binman isn't injured it doesn't seem so bad. Right?

There is a huge trash can next to this playground close to my house so I just toss them there.

Great idea. Or bury them in the sand so no one will find them. But leave the plastic cap off. We dont want to damage the environment

No wasn't serious. I only use a sharps container that holds around 75. When it gets full I take it to the hospital and they dispose for free.
