Disposing of the pens!

Just injected 4th dose of first pen and realised I don't know what to do with the pen!? I think it still has a bit in but I'm not planning to do an extra dose probably. So - In the bin? Take to a pharmacy? Put in the sharps bin?

Sorry to sound stupid!

Thanks for any help!!

I think the guidance is to put it in the general waste, but there are some that prefer to put it in the sharps bin.

I save my pens and will chuck them all away when I am at goal.
Dunno why just feels symbolic :)

@Redlightbulb I have all of mine saved too! Not sure when (if?) I will get rid of them but have them and all of the boxes tucked away safely in my wardrobe 😁
