Hi All
Just had my sharps box replaced by my local council as it was full and they left me with what i can only describe as a mini dusbin.
I asked the man if i could have the same one as i had (the little size) as this is quite handy when we go out, and he said they only do 1 size as they dont want to empty it more than once every 4 to 6 months.
I then asked well how the hell am i gonna use this when i go out as i dont want to start using a black bin liner as a hang bag, and i was gob smacked at his reply and i quote
*why dont you use a small plastic water bottle and put your used needles in this then when you have finished with it at the end of the day you can throw it away, saves takin the big box with you*
I then pointed out that if this was possible and at all legal then why would we need a clincial waste collection service, he shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
But now am left with with a mini dustbin which now has pride of place in the corner of my bedroom instead of stored away in the draw with all my other diabetic bits,
My partner is also not happy as i have now said am gonna have to redecorate as my red bedroom does not go with my new ornament as thats yellow!!!!!!!!
