We have sharps containers (locked) in one of every building’s first floor bathrooms. Seems to work. We’re not a big school, so one per building is working.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Insulin syringes
Greetings,
The question has come up concerning students or personnel on campus who use injectable insulin, and what is to become of the syringes after use. If there are other universities that have encountered this issue, I would appreciate hearing
about how it was dealt with.
Thank you,
