    Do they give them away anywhere? Mine is almost full.

    Thanks,

    I think pharmacies switch them out.

    My hubby (diabetic) just saves the caps to plastic coke or water bottles and put them in there.

    I'd get a BD Needle Clipper instead; snip the needle, recap and toss the syringe. Holds 1500 needles.

    Just make sure your state isn't particular about disposing of needle-less syringes. :p

    I'm using an old Tide (laundry soap) container, which is considered a legal needle disposal container in my state. You can Google what's legal in yours to use instead of the red official ones.

    When I had diabetic cats, I used an empty coffee can. I also used needle clipper first before putting the syringe in the can. My city allows them to go into the garbage as long as they are in a sealed container.

    Googled, our state accepts them in tightly closed plastic containers. Great I don't have to buy anything.
