I live in Sumter County and would appreciate an answer. I checked at a couple of the pharmacies in the area and they were of no help at all. Thank you ahead of time.

JenAjd, I don't know what brand of lancets you use, but the Humira company offers free containers and free shipping of the full containers back to them for disposal. I'm not sure if you have to use their products to get the terrific service. I'm posting a link with a phone number to call and ask about this program.

Sumter County doesn't have a "Sharp Solid Waste" disposal program. But Marion County does have a program for disposal.

Hope this helps.

Here's a link for this:
