How do you dispose of used peptide needles?

Never in household trash or recycling, and never flushed. The FDA recommends an FDA-cleared sharps container, or as a fallback a heavy-duty plastic household container with a tight, puncture-proof lid, taken to a pharmacy, hospital, health department, or police or fire station drop-off when full. Local rules on disposing of a full container vary, so check before assuming any one method is allowed everywhere.
