Message: <blockquote data-quote="cugila" data-source="post: 150889" data-attributes="member: 15325">I asked for and got a larger Sharps Bin because my Pen wouldn't fit in. It is a 4 ltr bin and it sits in my kitchen in a space 6" x 6".  As for the fact that anybody was told they could put it in household rubbish........that is a matter for the people who state that and those who use the Pen's. I am no strongman and can break a pen if I wished.......they are not totally empty and if opened by a child then as stated I dread to think of the consequences........sometimes the unthinkable does happen. I for one would be mortified if such a thing were ever to happen, knowing it was MY responsibilty for the safe disposal. The disposal of Clinical Waste is subject to regulations. This very matter was discussed in a thread here in 2009 extensively. The same information was given then and hasn't changed. Ken</blockquote>
