Sharps disposal protocols?


I've used a BD Home Sharps Container and it's time to dispose of it and the coffee can I used in the beginning.


How do I dispose of them?  My pharmacist is of no help what so ever. Nobody knows anything.

I found out that the trash company we use only ask that the container is sealed and not one that a worker will stick themselves with.


I use the 'red box' and will research ways to ship these somewhere.
