I mind you saying that before helli, I'm extra careful now 😉
I clip, replace the skinny cap and then the clear cover and then unscrew and pop into a small tub I have thats lined with a food bag and just empty that when its getting full into an used coffee tin (have plenty of those haha) and seal that with some tape and bin.
 
Yes I put needle on pen, take off plastic top and bin that (it isn’t sharp so doesn’t need to be in the sharps bin) then use the needle unscrewing tool on the top of my 1L sharps bin to unscrew the needle from the pen into the sharps bin.
We don't have an unscrewing tool on ours.

What size do you have? It’s been on all the 1L ones I’ve had but maybe bigger ones dont have it

It's on the 1.8l as well, although I had no idea what it was until your earlier post!

I just put the needle back in the plastic cap & put the whole thing in mine. Having confirmed that the cap isn't recyclable, I reckon it's better they go up in smoke rather than into landfill.
