[QUOTE="peat5961, post: 2322945, member: 515284"] It’s a mess. Why there is not just one clear set of rules of what to do with the waste Last year I was put on Libre & told at the group training meeting with the Libre Rep only to put the sensor in the SHRAPS bin the rest in a normal waste bin. Then I found out short time ago a friend had just started with Libre & they got told the sensor has to go in normal waste because of its battery & the applicator goes in the SHARPS bin because of the needle in it. I asked my diabetic team ( a different nurse to one that did my training on Libre ) & she blow a fuse when I said what I was doing with the waste & sent a letter to my Doc’s to order me a new SHARPS bin with a wide hole in it to take the applicator. I asked on this forum a while ago what others do and we are all doing different things & been told different things from their own teams & Libre Reps. For such a standard thing that all of us using a Libre have. Why all the confusion over what should happen the waste. Didn’t the N.H.S think there would be any waste parts from using a Libre [/QUOTE]
