Disposing of Your Used Pens
•
Put your used Pens in a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container
right away after use.
Do not throw away (dispose of) Pens in
your household trash.
•
If you do not have a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container,
you may use a household container that is:
-
made of a heavy-duty plastic,
-
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,
