Hello again everyone,
I was wondering if there was a consensus opinion or advice for the disposal of disposable insulin pens which are not empty.
I currently rarely use all of the fixed cartridge over the pen's 28 day lifespan, and can't find any concrete info on how best to dispose of. I've recently been putting into my 1L sharps bin, but I can only do this when I'm given the tall sharps bins with the larger lid. This seems more appropriate then domestic waste at least, although still doesn't seem right.
Thank you for any advice.
