OPEN TOPIC - Medical Syringe - Waste

Many have asked this often question:
Where do I bring my Syringe Container when it is full?

and have asked other questions such as:

Am I allowed to place with my normal trash - for trash collection?
Can I bring to my doctor?
How much does it cost to Trash Medical Waste?


MY answer is usually -- I have no answer. To please ask your primary physician or your neurologist for their replies.

MAYBE Some of you, have a better answer(s)...

PLEASE reply by leaving a comment - THANK YOU

I just place the needle in the medical waste box & throw the syringe in with the household garbage. I've checked with nurses & they said it was OK to do it that way. I haven't learned where/how to dispose of medical waste yet, though.

Check with your city trash/water/sanitation dept. I'm in Fort Worth, TX and they say just put in a sealed container with the trash.

I asked my garbage pick up guys and they said to throw it in the trash. I use Sharps containers and clip off the needles, so they are okay with it in the regular trash.
