Message: <blockquote data-quote="jopar" data-source="post: 443214" data-attributes="member: 11712">A test strip actually poses less of a cross-contamination risk than the used plaster, dirty nappy, blooded tissue from the bleeding nose or cuts, female sanitary items...  Yet everybody doesn't bat an eyelid throwing these items in their rubbish bin but make a song and dance about the less dangerous test strip.Lancets, ensuring that the lid is back on and put in another container is fine to throw into your household waste..Needles can be clipped with a 'clipper' then thrown in the bin, once the clipper is full this can also go in the bin..In the old days, we just used to put our used syringes and lancets in an tin drinks can, tape over with a bit of parcel tape and throw in the bin...</blockquote>
