I test once a day and always use a fresh lancet. I purchase plastic sharps containers for disposal. Do not take the full container to the fire department or the Sumter County sheriff's office. They will not accept them. I recently had a full container and I just took it to my doctor's office where they have a contract with a company to properly dispose of them. I've also heard that The Villages Regional Hospital will accept proper full containers.

Good luck.
