Household sharps disposal safety and worker risks

Some places still handle waste by hand.

We have three spots that accept everything. You drop off a sealed container and get a new one. Where is this place you mentioned?

I could probably call the waste company but it's not worth it with such a big container. At two syringes a week it will take forever to fill.

Try searching 'comeback' with titles only. The full thread is worth reading if you haven't seen it.

You can get a small one, quart size.

Good to know. We have a local biohazard drop at the fire department so I'm happy using that. The free service was also great when I used it.

That's a good service for the community.

I don't know what made you so bitter, but your take on my personality is just your opinion. You don't know me beyond a few lines. Have a good day.

If that's the case it was a very indirect question. Are you really asking whether it's okay to treat medical waste like regular trash? A capped syringe in the bin isn't safe; it just means you're not concerned about someone getting stuck. Proper containers are needed to avoid that risk.

Efficient setup. Just note that glass can break and leave the needles exposed. Plastic holds up better in the waste stream and protects workers and animals more. Even though I dislike plastic, it's safer here.

I meant the large plastic kimchi jars actually, so we're fine. I hadn't thought about the glass issue though, so thanks for pointing that out.

Lots of amazing ladies take part in this scene. Being overweight has that rare upside of pushing you toward a balanced and tough character since otherwise folks just look right past you. The whole pursuit ends up full of delightful women too.

Seeing those words left me feeling deeply upset. It's unfair when someone ends up noticed or ignored solely on account of their body size. Even so I realize that's just the way things tend to go.

This really bums me out. 😔 Ladies are fantastic for the most part, but I notice pep land seems to attract lots of them.

I feel seen! 😍 🤣

Yeah I noticed it along with when it first appeared. Planning to look through that later once back at my place. Much appreciated.

Sounds like fun!

They're probably just in a sour mood most of the time. Still, folks tell me they're actually pleasant and entertaining.

True enough. Strong views are common around these parts and certain individuals become offended quite quickly. It is what it is.

Absolutely. Everyone should understand the process for dealing with waste in their area. My knowledge comes from numerous visits to the disposal site. I'm relieved that the sanitation crew doesn't manually load the containers onto the vehicle. Temperatures reach 110 degrees in this location. The primary danger from needles arises from wild animals overturning the container and scattering contents. This occurred just a single time. They appear fond of spuds. 😒

I'm not upset or anything. I like to joke with folks whenever something grabs my attention. For a newcomer you're pretty decent.

You're better off not stuck with that constant unfriendly expression thing. Extra pounds might come off eventually, yet this problem sticks around forever. 🤣🤣

Actually it's reversed in my case because my looks end up attracting strangers who want to chat 😵‍💫

Honestly, that gadget ends up being helpful from time to time.

My granddaughter appeared with an angry expression that brings me real joy. Even at seven she keeps holding onto that same kind of attitude.

That keyword about the dish made us instant friends. It's cool my pointless facts ended up being handy after all.

Noticing risky actions doesn't offend anyone at all. Your protective response however highlights the inconsistency.

I've found myself telling others more than a couple times that I might seem all soft and cuddly on the outside, but really I'm all edges and spikes.

People keep saying my appearance makes me seem really devout, so I just offer a friendly grin in return. I skip the explanations, but I don't hold any spiritual beliefs myself.

That's surprising. You come across as friendly and mellow.

Thanks!

Someone needs a nap

I am, but my face says otherwise. 🤣

I saw an item listed as sharps with none of the needles. So what counts as the sharp part when needles are left out?

Maybe relax instead, slip into some sexy outfit then wander over to cook a peach dessert just for me. That would probably lift your spirits.
