Participants who need to use injectable medication should bring a sharps container. If a participant does not bring one and there is not one in the host location, staff should create a temporary one. A temporary one should be leak-proof, made of metal or heavy plastic such as a laundry detergent or bleach container, and have a tight fitting puncture resistant lid. The sharps container should be stored with the other medication. Clearly mark the container sharps and send it home with the participant for appropriate disposal.
