[QUOTE="Re-Ride, post: 36212, member: 8395"] Luis, This is scores high on preventing needle sticks to others. Like sharps containers these were designed to protect health care workers in a clinic environment and were developed in response to The Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act, November 6, 2000. Using them at home does protect others which is our prime responsibility as consumers of at-home injection medicine. Introducing one or two of these in to the waste stream per week is insignificant imo. Technically though this is in violation for disposing of an unprocessed sharp. You might take the extra precaution of drawing up bleach water. How do you find the convenience? the cost? Fireproof, No harm will be done to the plumbing in your home by flushing cut needle bits. They are low enough in mass not to accumulate in the trap. [/QUOTE]
