  • Sharps – How do you Dispose of..

    Hi,

    Silly Question, but what do you do with your used sharps?

    I’ve a little Swann Morton box "universal scalpel blade remover" and just chuck the whole thing out when its full, after wrapping it in masking tape.

    Cheers

    We have an old pasta sauce jar thats slowly filling up and that will be wrappred up and taped when full and we dispose of it.

    Talking about scapels, we use swan morton retractable handle scapels, very good only a couple of weeks ago I broke mine, not the blade(do that most weeks) but the actual cast bit the blade slots into 😮

    Maybe I was pressing a bit hard 😀

    We use a syringe sharps container – Easy and safe to throw in the bin once its full.

    I put my used blades back into the container the new blade comes in (I buy them in a 10 pack) then when it is full, I throw the container out.

    I just give mine to some little kids in the street and the police and paramedics usually look after them for me.

    Just jokin’ tin with a slotted lid does it here.

    i put all my old blades (and fishing hooks) into a plactic fish food pot, once it’s full i’ll decide what to do ith it, before the pot i would wrap them safely in mask tape and simply bin them.

    A Grolsch bottle the one with the flip style stopper. Once full wrap the stopper in gaffa tape & bin it.
