My medical practice has accumulated a large number of unused needles and gloves, how can I safely dispose of them without endangering public health?
user
You can dispose of the needles and gloves in specially marked medical sharps containers or biohazard bins. Make sure to double-bag the materials, and avoid disposing of them in regular garbage cans or recycling bins. You should check with your local government or public health department for the correct methods for disposing of biological waste in your area.

Needles and gloves should be collected in sealable containers, and taken to a local hazardous waste collection facility for disposal. Alternatively, if there is no such facility nearby, the materials can be buried deep within an open-pit landfill site with the understanding that these materials will not be exposed to rain or surface water. Regardless of the method used, it is imperative that needles are never left in places where children or pets may come into contact with them.
