How do you safely dispose of dirty syringes?
Triangle Points offers syringe disposal containers that can hold between 10 and 150 used syringes. These containers are crush-proof and leak-proof and have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) for disposal of biohazard material.
We offer these containers FREE of charge to any community member or community organization. Contact us for yours today.
What else can I use to safely get rid of dirty works?
Plastic soda bottles, ground coffee tins, and laundry detergent bottles are common ways that syringes can be discarded. These are safer alternatives to throwing them away capped, down the drain/toilet or on in a Dumpster. However, a needle point can stick out of a crushed plastic bottle and the lid can come off a coffee tin.
