FDA recommends that used sharps including needles, syringes, lancets, auto injectors (ie. insulin pens), infusion sets, connection needles/sets be immediately placed in FDA-cleared containers and dropped off at a needle disposal location.

FDA-cleared sharps disposal containers are manufactured from rigid plastic and come marked with a line that indicates when the container should be considered full, which means it’s time to dispose of the container.
