Question... I am on Plegridy. This is a self inject pen. I have a few sharps containers full of them that I need to dispose of and want to make sure I am doing this correctly going forward.
My mother is diabetic & the law in NJ is that can clip the needle & then dispose in an old laundry detergent bottle, mark it as a biohazard, seal the cap shut & then throw in the trash.
The pens are a little different because you cannot clip the syringe since it is covered. Wondering if I would still just dispose of the same way (in container clearly marked & taped shut in the trash). Hate the idea of just throwing all of that plastic in the trash but the recycle program Biogen used to have was done away with long ago.
