Pin disposal

Hello everyone,

Been keeping a low profile, eating, pining the shit outta me and trying to avoid being too grumpy, too horny, too obvious.

I have amassed a number of used needles, syringes and empty bottles that I would like to responsibly get rid of... Bearing I live in a one horse town that hasn't had a horse since carts were popular, what do y'all suggest?

Seriously? Really?

I gave no indication where I lived - and the reason I stated the size of my town is there is no hospital, or other sort of place, where they would be able to dispose of stuff. I asked a reasonable question as to how to responsibly dispose of used pins so that I can avoid the stupidity of throwing them in a trash can / dump and risk hurting some innocent person going through it...

See the above bit about seriously - share your advice if you have any...or not if you dont

Where do you buy the needles?
I'm sure they might be able to dispose for you.

Thanks Hoosain...when I lived overseas you could buy a sharpies container and then drop it off at most places that provided such things. Good idea on the retailer - I've got no stress asking them - they're that crowd I was laughing about that scan a syringe at a time on pensioners day ...just thought given most people here pin, and would then have the same issues, it would be a common problem...

Hey.
Here a idea whack the needles and burn them in a fire.
Second option placed all used needles in a container and drop them off at your nearest chemist they should have a place to dispose sharp objects

yeah that's a good idea. I've seen those boxes at the hospitals and doctors practice. Lucky for me i drive past a clinic daily and that's my area of disposal.

Now that you mention it, i'm wondering what everyone else does with their needles. I'm pretty sure there are people who just dump it in a bin.

my tattoo guy has a biohazard marked bin that gets collected and swapped out for an empty one by a company he pays monthly - obviously he has the same issue of disposing of his needles in the same way...Despite him having done my sleeves I don't have the balls to ask him if I can dump my own toxic shit in his bin ...I'm shy like that - lolololol..thanks for the help - I'll take a drive to a city and find somewhere....

For the most part people that are into bodybuilding and fitness are intelligent and responsible that want to do things the correct and proper way, but sometimes doing things properly will expose you to unnecessary risks. By trying to dispose of used needles properly you will have to make yourself vulnerable to all sorts of risks and I don't think those risks are worth it.

Burning the needles will get rid of the plastic, soften the metal as well as destroy any bacteria or viruses. Burying the leftover metal pieces about 40cm deep somewhere hidden will allow the remaining metal to corrode away fairly quickly without any risk to the environment or others. This might be more effort, but the safest option in my view.

Burning as admin suggested. Best option.
