I was in Belgium this week and looking at hazardous waste disposal amongst other things. The law there for companies says that you can dispose of small quantities of medical and sanitary waste that is low risk for infection - i.e. no free infectious fluids, all absorbed or dried etc in with standard household type rubbish. That set me thinking about what I do.
To my mind test strips, once dried are negligible risk from an infection and sharps point of view. I've been putting mine in with my sharps for disposal but I'm not sure if I need to?
Cheers
