So that means you are not allowed to dispose of your sharps container in
normal rubbish collection?

Right. Not here anyway. My county seems to be more particular than most
areas. Must put in a purchased sharps container and must take to a specific
disposal site. Most are at pharmacies. Some pharmacies won't take them
back at all if you didn't purchase the container there. Oddly there are no
such sites in the city where I live. There is one in Mill Creek, where I
went today. It's about 2 miles from my house but in a store where I rarely
go. They have nice stuff, just not very nice prices.


How would they know it was your rubbish if they discovered
it?

BTW, every public toilet in my area has a sharps container
on the interior wall. It's intended for junkies of course,
but there are no restrictions on who can put sharps in it.

Alternatively, keep them it away from kids, buy a new one
annually and bury the old one in the backyard every St
Swithins Day.
