Trash

[KentuckyWoman]

The pharmacies in my local area don't accept either. As per the direction from our local pharmacy, and confirmed by the county health department, and the local trash company - the best option is to dispose either in a medical grade sharps container or something like an empty laundry liquid bottle. Tape the screw top lid down and put SHARPS on all sides.

I have no idea what Rumpke does with them, but that was the only even minimally safe option I could find in my area at the time.

Note to add... my husband's insulin pens accepted a needle on the end that could be screwed on or off and disposed. Only the needle needed special care, not the empty pen.
