If you live in California, you can request a free sharps removal package that will come with a sharps container and a mail back label. Save the box it comes in for when it’s filled and you want to ship it back. Only for California residents! Don’t abuse: https://sharpstakebackcalifornia.org/

For everyone else, maybe you can share you plug. I know that diabetic warehouse has them and reasonably priced too.

I found the small ones to be a challenge to insert and that they filled rapidly, by going with a larger size the cost also went down drastically as used syringes could "stack" better inside.
I really will not go back to anything without a mailbox door.

The 5 Qts works out to $2 per qt as well so cost and ease of use is why i use these- there are other brands and larger ones, my last one was actually a little less than this but seems to be discontinued or OOS:

Tennessee is great for sharps you just have to use a hard plastic container. To dispose of it all you have to do it tape it shut and label it sharps. Then throw it out in your regular trash. I just use left over protein containers now.

You mean you all don’t just dump them in the local playground?

Hello to you in Tennessee! I have family in Cheatham County. It’s been years since I have been out there but I miss all of the green trees, and Cracker Barrel lol!

I am in California and the company that does our trash also sorts through the trash to further recycle it. We have a recycle bin, but the “trash” bin is also sorted after it is picked up. It would be so convenient to through sharps in a labeled package into the trash. I assume if we did it, an employee could get injured while sorting. Idk. Our trash is picked up by Republic. My friend is a sales rep for them and she says, the workers who sort the trash on the line make $30+ an hour but I imagine they must see some weird stuff.
