[QUOTE="Capt-Slog, post: 2160949, member: 500850"] STOP PRESS: I spoke to the people who collect my Sharps Container about this issue. This is what they said: "Our advice would be to carry on with the sharp containers to put your empty cartridges in and anything insulin contaminated and your canula once this has been changed. As this is pharmaceutically contaminated, we would always advise for safe disposal using your sharps container." However, i just can't bring myself to dump all that plastic into my Sharps Container. I am going to pull-out / chop off anything sharp and put it in the container. I DO usually put my used test strips in the container, again, because i was told too by my DSN. As for the rest, i am NOT too sure about which plastic bits my council will recycle, but i will give it a go. (Eco-Warrior....not) What's left...in the trash. On another note. I have decided to save and clean the little insulin vials so that i can make one of those cool light stings that you see in the background of the Vlogs from Nerdabetic: [MEDIA=youtube]GOQPbrL00z8[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
