Needle Disposal at Home
If you give yourself injections (insulin, B-12, etc) at home, the Bard Home Sharps Container is a necessity. Disposal of needles requires a safe method of disposal. The thick plastic of the container means that needles will not go through the sides and will be contained, protecting the safety of everyone in the family as well as those who pick up waste. The top closes easily and the red color notifies the city it is medical waste so they can protect their workers who pick up the full container. It is the same high quality as those used in hospitals.
