And what actually happens if you DON'T use an actual sharps
container? Do people knock on your door and enquire about how you
dispose of your needles?

People have knocked on your door? Here (in the US) those thick
laundry detergent bottles are just as good as sharps containers. And
if you live by a US VA Hospital, I think they have to take them.

I said earlier I burn them, receiving an outcry
about the legality. Once burned, they rust rather
quickly in a hole I bury them in on my property
along with lots of ashes. My recycling process
is suitable for the very rural region I live in.

I'll show you the spot and let you try to find a
needle that can prick skin after a month. I realize
that most people can't burn them as I do.

I burn here too and can do so legally. Although I have never burned
needles. As I can only burn dry paper, wood, and cardboard. Needles
isn't one of them. :(
