After your injection:
• Put your used needles in a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container right away
after use. Do not throw away (dispose of) loose needles in your household
trash.
• If you do not have a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container, you may use a
household container that is:

- can be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharps
being able to come out,
- upright and stable during use,
- leak-resistant, and
- properly labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container.
• When your sharps disposal container is almost full, you will need to follow your
community guidelines for the right way to dispose of your sharps disposal
container. There may be state or local laws about how you should throw away
used needles and syringes. For more information about safe sharps disposal,
and for specific information about sharps disposal in the state that you live in,
