Don't want to head this thread in another direction, but I too, only use 2-3 per year (test 4x per day). Lanclets or needles should be placed in a plastic gal jug (like Bleach) bottle, taped real well with something like duct tape and then placed in garbage. I have a device that cuts the needles off too. I called the Sumter Co authorities and that is the procedure they gave me after the trash folks and myself had a "conference" and they wanted me to comply with Marion county brochure that they presented me. VA also will take your collection.
