Why do we need to dispose syringes properly?


There is a need for patients who inject drugs will dispose of their injection accessories safely and properly. However, the occasional discovery of used needles and syringes in parks and other public places can be a source of concern for residents in the communities that find them. Thus, the safety disposal of syringes is also an environmentally friendly issue.

 

How should you dispose used syringes?


Used needles and syringes can safely dispose by the following way:

  • remain calm

  • do not attempt to replace the needle cap

  • don't break or bend the needles

  • be careful to pick up the needle, use work gloves if you need

  • hold the needle point away from you

  • put the needle in a metal or hard plastic container with a lid (i.e. product or drink bottle)

  • replace cap on container securely and label

  • wash hands with soap and water

  • drop off the sealed container

  • community box - call your municipality directly about locations in your community

  • participate in the pharmacy

  • dispose of the sealed container in a nearby garbage bin

  • dispose at your local public health unit

 

What are the types of syringes and needle?


It is important to note that there are various syringe types and needle sizes. Some syringes are used alone without a needle, while others are used with a needle for injection. If you're a parent, you're probably most familiar with the dose syringes used to measure your child's medications, such as painkillers or antibiotics. This is a syringe without a needle. Syringes can accurately measure liquids and are easier for children to swallow than cups or pills. Another common needleless syringe is used for flushing and can be used alone or with a medical tube. Some come with needles filled with pre-measured medication. In this case, you don't need to know much about size or type. Other times, you have to choose the size of the syringe based on the amount of fluid you need, in which case you can choose the needle. Needles come in different lengths and diameters and can be measured with a meter. You can choose a gauge based on the location of the injection and the type of drug being injected.
