The most dangerous part of the sharp is the end; if you try to store or transport them as-is, there’s a risk of injury. To combat this issue, you can take steps to prepare your equipment for disposal. However, the most important thing to remember is that you shouldn't attempt to use household items to render your needles or lancets harmless, as this may cause injury. Instead, you can invest in devices specifically designed to dismantle or store sharps safely.
