Have a needle clipper? When the needle clipper is full, it can be disposed of according to your state or local regulations. More information can be found here.
When it comes to getting rid of your sealed container of used sharps, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued the following guidelines for disposal.
Sharps that retract after use, or are very small, should be disposed of like all other sharps.
Most counties in Oregon have disposal programs. If your area does not have a program, contact your local waste hauler or health department. Call the program to confirm if there are any container requirements, disposal fees or residency restrictions. Click here for information on pharmaceutical company mail-back programs.
