Just curious. If I were a betting man, other than the hrt guys, most just hide it in the trash.

i put them in a whey proiten container ...i have not filled it up yet so i have not got rid of them

I throw them in the trash, but I always put the cover back on the needle before I do.

I do the same, but I break the needle off and leave it loose with the cap on that way no one can reuse it and ther is less chance of getting stuck with it.

I use an empty laundry detergent bottle, hard plastic. They usually have a child safe lid. One should fill the bottle with plaster or similar product when you want to dispose of it.

The problem with sharp containers are that they are bright yellow or red and quite often ridiculously large for private use, and thus is not easy to hide for other family members.

Sharp containers can be easily bought cheap on the internet. I Norway we can dispose of a sharps container at any pharmacy

I use a sharps container, it's the 1 liter size so like a bit smaller than a half gallon of milk. I only put the pins with caps in there, the syringe and bloody alcohol swabs go in the bathroom trash where no one will pick through.. My wife know, but nobody else does and I do my injections in the guest bathroom.

Guardian, miss you already bro. Fly high.

That's primarily whom the guidelines are set for, I mean theres other reasons to need to inject yourself, blood thinners come to mind.. What state are you in? That's fucking nuts even if it's the landfill. Reminds of that scene in Saw II.. eeww..
