How To Dispose Of Your HCG Syringes And Needles

There's a right way and a wrong way to dispose of your used syringes.

Hazard ButtonAfter you use a syringe or needle to inject yourself with HCG, or anything else for that matter, it is considered "Hazardous Material" and it should be stored and disposed of the right way.

However, most people don't know what the "Right Way" is - So usually what happens is they just end up throwing it in the garbage can with the rest of their trash.

This of coarse, is not the right way to do it. But don't worry, I'm here to help! Isn't that comforting to know?

How To Properly Store And Dispose Of Used HCG Syringes And Needles

Hazardous WasteYou should always use a special container when disposing of syringes and needles. It should be made of a puncture-proof plastic. There are some containers that are specially designed to hold used needles and syringes - You can usually find these special containers at your local pharmacy.

However, I found that an old 2 quart Apple Juice bottle with a wide opening works great. just be sure to keep the lid and tear off any labels. Once the container is full, you should take it to a local hospital, doctor's office, pharmacy, fire station or health department clinic to dispose of it properly. 

Never, and I mean never, throw the container in the garbage!

Don't cut or break needles. But if for some strange reason you feel like you must break your needles - there is a special device that should be used, they're called "safe-clips".

Keep your used needle/syringe container away from children and pets at all times. This means, don't let your baby play with it like a rattle.

Okay, that was a joke - But seriously, It's not a rattle.

Don't fill the container more than three-quarters of the way full. When the container is three-quarters full - Put the lid on tightly and seal with heavy tape. Don't ever put your used needle/syringe container into plastic recycling bins.


IMPORTANT NOTE: Every community has its own way of handling the disposal of syringes and needles. Some may even have special laws and rules for how it should be done. You can learn more about the rules in your community by simply calling your local health department or waste management.


What else would you recommend using to store your used syringes and needles in?
