How should I safely dispose of used needles, syringes or pen devices?
You can safely dispose of all your used needles, syringes and pen devices in your sharps bin. Make sure you order your new sharps bin before the ‘full’ line is reached. You’ll need to shut and seal it fully yourself to prevent any injury or risk to yourself or others. You should then sign and date it and give it to your delivery driver who will dispose of it safely for you.
It’s important the sharps bin is fully closed and sealed before handing it to your delivery driver otherwise they won’t be able to take it.
