How do I throw away needles?
Also asked: sharps, needle disposal, sharps container, how to dispose, trash Answer: Needles and syringes go in a sharps container, never in household trash or recycling. Don't recap and don't clip them.
When the container is about three-quarters full, seal it and drop it off at a pharmacy, hospital, or household hazardous waste site that accepts sharps. Rules vary by county, so check your local health department if you're unsure.
