Next thing that will happen is that some on here will expect every gas station and carryout to have them available. This is real life. There is no reason that a rec center, which is short for the key work RECREATION should have a means to dispose of needles. Neither should the postal boxes where we pick up our mail. AND you are more likely to find junkie needles there than other places in the Villages. And I break needles all the time and have never used "needle cutters." Don't know about you but the needles I break, end up breaking off at the point they enter the syringe. I am sure that there are far more dangerous materials in the trash. I am not saying you are wrong, just not living in the real world if you think everybody is going to do the "proper" thing. And no, I am not a medical professional, although I have spent the night at the Holiday Inn Express.
And just a note: Syringes are used for other purposes besides medical. They are also used to apply glues and lubricants to small areas.

If this is how you dispose of used syringes, you should not be able to use them... and if your use is medical, then you need to go to a facility for help with their use.
They are dangerous!..period
Why do you think they have classes on disposal...you can't tell me you don't know this...or were not taught...this entitled attitude is ridiculous.
Grow up people and be responsible, stop using your age to "pretend " you don't know the correct way.
