Call the County Health Dept. They should be able to take them, or tell you where to dispose of them!
My doctors office used to let me put them in their sharps container. I would call over, and bring them in a box and a nurse would let me use the container. I have not had one in a few years so I don't know if they would still do this.
was going to post this question, too!
i keep coming across our expired one every time i try to declutter.
hmmmm, the ped is 45 minutes away. that would take some forethought and planning on my part. . . :p
A hospital, EMS station, or fire department should also have sharps containers and allow you to dispose of them safely.
FYI - I've saved mine up and brought them in when I had an appt. Otherwise you can buy a sharps disposal kit at a medical supply company.
My primary physician's office has let me dispose of mine (I have a life-threatening bee allergy) there the two times I've needed them.
I disposed of my used needles (not epi pens, but Lovenox shots) by breaking the tip off and throwing them in the trash per my drs instructions...not sure if epi pens are a very different from syringes?
With my used needles I was told to put them in the sharps contaier, pour bleach and water into the container, wrap it in duct tape, then throw it away.
Fire dept came to my mind too.
