What to Do with Used Sharps in Ohio - Safe Needle Disposal

Put the plastic container in the household trash - don't recycle! If a trash collector is reluctant to collect a red sharps container, refer them to your state waste agency. Sharps should never be thrown loosely into the trash or toilet Sharps that retract after use, or are very small, should be disposed of like all other sharps.
