I was thinking about stuff that gets generated from glucose testing. For lancing, I use the Accu-Chek Fastclix. This is very easy to use and does not have any exposed needle. That said, it is still considered a “sharp” and the used drums should be put into a heavy duty plastic container. You can also purchase inexpensive sharps containers. When 3/4 full, seal it up with duct tape, mark Do Not Recycle on it and toss it in the garbage.

Your state may have specific requirements on how to dispose of these materials. Check out https://safeneedledisposal.org/ for your state.

For test strips, the consensus seems to be it’s OK to toss right in the garbage. Just like you would a band aid. Easy enough.
