Safe Disposal of Used Syringes
Used insulin syringes are classified as clinical sharps and must be disposed of safely.
After use, syringes should be placed immediately into a rigid sharps container. A 0.5 litre sharps container is typically suitable for home insulin use.
Sharps must not be placed in household waste.
Many veterinary practices accept filled sharps containers from their clients. Some local councils provide clinical waste collection services. Owners should contact their local authority for guidance.
It is the pet owner’s responsibility to ensure safe disposal in accordance with local regulations.
