Disposal question

[Big_Joe]

Hi All

I remember reading a thread awhile back, probably a couple of years ago, about a guy that said he dissolved his used syringes in some sort of solvent. I think it was lacquer thinner but I could be wrong. So before I go and buy the wrong stuff does anybody remember what this stuff was or does anybody dispose of there waste this way?

I have been storing mine in old protein jugs and have about five full ones now and think I should get rid of them. There are places I could dump them. I used to use polyethylene foam inside the jug with the syringes but I would like something a little more discreet.

Just super glue the lids shut on them and dispose of them.

This looks like a good enough solution.

Tide detergent bottles makes for a good sharpies container.

one catch---make sure they cannot track it back to you as in most states it is a felony to dipose of sharps not in the proper container. they sell them retail and prepaid so all you do fill-it and drop in the mail prepaid (and there is a regulatory policy that they do not open containers for evidence of use of illegal substances).
