How Do You Dispose of Your Pins?

[gabulldogs02]

Besides getting a sharps container. Thats about what i do. I'm not knocking anyone for atleast putting them in a container. Im talking about the ones who just toss in em in the trash even if there is a cap on it.

i put them all in a jug of some sort (water, protein, powerade) and when its full............... i throw it in the garbage. wtf else is there to do?

I separate the pins and cases, trash the cases, pins go into a sharps container. When the sharps containers full, i seal it inside a protein jug and it goes into the trash.

that is a really good idea...

well at least CAP the needle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMO who's going to uncapp a fucking needle???

just insulate the actual pin then toss it

capped as in the pin itself, its pretty ucappable without effort

I live in the same country as rosco, i go to the needle exchange, in UK, get alcohol swabs, barrels, pins (different sizes) and a sharps container, all free, then when i have finished just take them back, sign just my initials, no questions asked, apart from what do you need the needles for. I just say anabolics, and im done, all disposed of in a medically safe way, the sharps container is only about the size of a dvd case (with a bit of depth) easy to hide!
