Needle Disposal SOP
Put used sharps in a strong, plastic container
- When the container is 3/4 full, put the lid on, seal it with duct tape, and label DO NOT RECYCLE.
- Put the plastic container in the household trash - don't recycle!
Sharps should never be thrown loosely into the trash or toilet.
Sharps that retract after use, or are very small, should be disposed of like all other sharps.
