Needle Disposal - Anyone Use This Product?

[Megatron28]

I was wondering g of anyone has used this product to dispose of used needles for their testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)? Would it work well with 25 and 18 gauge needles?

Thanks!

I just leave mine in an empty locker at the gym. I should sell them to the crack heads as clean seconds.
On a serious note, I have been dumping them into an old creatine jug, don't know what I'll do once its full.

It says it is for insulin syringes. So unless you are doing sub-q injections, I don't think it will work.

Nope. This is what I use:

Amazon.com: BD Home Sharps Container - 1 ea: Health & Personal Care

5 bucks, locks, and is approved for most cities to be dumped directly into the trash. You're not going to fit 100 syringes in there, but as long as you unscrew the needle from the barrel, you can easily fit 50 or so in one.

This is what I currently use.

If it ain't broken...yadda yadda yadda.

You have someone get into your sharps container? That why you're looking into one that breaks needles?

It is filling up so I was looking for a new one and I saw that item. I was I intrigued as it was cheap and takes up less space. I think it said it works with any size needle. I need to go back and read the decription/reviews.

I went back and read the comments. Some said it doesn't work great with larger sized needles. I guess the big bottle it is again.

Yeah, I once thought about buying one of those industrial ones you see at the doc's office, but apparently some of those aren't legit to put in the trash. I just stick with the little $5 jobbies as they get the job done. Sadly, most sharps containers are geared towards diabetics and slin pins.
