Disposing of sharps waste is not as simple as you think. You can’t just toss sharps into 
the waste bin or recycling bin. No, not even if they are inside a plastic bottle. Sharps 
constitute edges, projections, and corners capable of piercing your skin. It includes 
needles, syringes, blunted needles, lancets, razors, scalpels, microtomes, and so on.
Place all the Sharps in a Sharps Waste Bin Immediately after Use
This reduces the risk of needle punctures, sticks, and cuts from the loose sharps. The 
containers or bins for sharps disposal should be kept out of reach of pets and children. 
Overfilling of the disposal bin increases the potential risks of accidental needle injury. 
When it is about three-fourth full, get rid of the sharps waste bin by following 
community guidelines. Never use sharps disposal containers.
The danger in disposing of sharps waste bin poses potential harms to local waste 
handlers, pets, children, and others that might come in contact with them. Local and 
state laws regulate the sharps waste bins from both contamination and physical hazards.

bin in case you run out of other options while traveling. If you are traveling by
