See Disposing of your used Pen.

Disposing of your used Pen


• Put your used Pen in an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container right
away after use. Do not throw away (dispose of) Pens in your
household trash.
• If you do not have an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container, you may
use a household container that is:
- made of a heavy-duty plastic,
- can be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without
sharps being able to come out,
- upright and stable during use,
- leak-resistant, and
- properly labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container.

• When your sharps disposal container is almost full, you will need to follow your community guidelines for the right way
to dispose of your sharps disposal container. There may be state or local laws about how you should throw away
used needles and syringes. For more information about safe sharps disposal, and for specific information about
sharps disposal in the state that you live in, go to the FDA’s website at: http://www.fda.gov/safesharpsdisposal.
• Do not recycle your used sharps disposal container.
