Here’s how to practice safety first when getting rid of medical sharps
Many people in the United States use medical sharps, which are any device that punctures the skin to deliver medication, to manage different health conditions.Healthcare providers may prescribe medications that require sharps to be used outside of a medical setting, like at home, in a restaurant or while you’re on vacation.When people use sharps at home, safe sharps disposal is important. Sharps that are not properly disposed of can injure other people.
Each state has its own rules about how to dispose of sharps safely. For example, some states require you to dispose of your sharps in afrom a pharmacy or medical supply company. Other states allow you to make your own sharps disposal container at home.When the container is 75% full, secure the lid with duct tape, label it as “Do Not Recycle,” and throw away the entire container in your regular trash.
Reminder: This process is only for states that allow disposal of used sharps in the household trash, as long as they are properly contained. Check to see if your state’s rules allow this method first.Dangerous Counterfeit Drugs Are Putting Millions of US Consumers at Risk, According to a New Study
