5Perfect, portable, practical, and safe  Dec 12, 2010
By W. D Strickland "Billy"
This is a great way to dispose of your used syringes, pen needles, lancets, and other bio waste. They are a good size to sit on the counter, and I also have one in a drawer in my office. Conveniently captures syringes by manually dropping them into one of the holes on top. If you use pen needles you simply insert the tip of the needle into the container and unscrew it - the needle drops into the container perfectly. When you've filled the container the sturdy plastic lid snaps into place and is easy to dispose of.

DISPOSING: Most towns have regulations about how you can dispose of bio-hazardous waste, but they are pretty easy to comply with. In my town for example you can take them to a pharmacy, or to the recycling center. Additionally, you can use a mail-in service.

5Needle Disposal at Home  Aug 23, 2008
By Lee Review
If you give yourself injections (insulin, B-12, etc) at home, the Bard Home Sharps Container is a necessity. Disposal of needles requires a safe method of disposal. The thick plastic of the container means that needles will not go through the sides and will be contained, protecting the safety of everyone in the family as well as those who pick up waste. The top closes easily and the red color notifies the city it is medical waste so they can protect their workers who pick up the full container. It is the same high quality as those used in hospitals.

4FOR INSULIN SYRINGES  Jun 17, 2010
By Mercedes Gray
I GOT THIS FOR MY HUSBAND. HE'S A DIABETIC AND NEEDED SOMEWHERE TO DISGARD HIS INSULIN NEEDLES AFTER USE. THIS IS PERFECT. WE JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO DISGARD THE CONTAINER NOW THAT ITS FULL. I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

5Does the job  Mar 10, 2012
By A Gamer at Heart
If you are unfortunate enough to need this container, then you already know why it is necessary. My youngest child takes a daily hormone shot for growth issues, and when we ran out of room on the last one that was supplied by the drug company (they gave us the first one and then said that they do not supply these anymore, even though they provide the disposable needles and the antiseptic wipes), I searched Amazon (as usual - they have everything!) and ordered this new container. It arrived in one day - I still don't know how - and it works great. The price was right. What more is there to say?

My order arrived before I expected it, well packed, everything as ordered. Will probably order again when it's time to do so. To answer previous reviewer's question about where to dispose of the container, contact your local garbage collection agency for their policies. Also check with your medical clinic's pharmacy as well as independent drug stores that may allow you to drop off full containers.
