Australia Aussies over here. 😎 🇦🇺

Random question, how do you guys dispose of sharps here in Aus?

Local council. I usually grab a few bins and swap them when they are full. Free service too

Fingers crossed for you, but i would be getting worried too.

Would have thought it might at least scan in then have an exception

G'day, and welcome to our little patch to ask local related questions of other Aussies.

We use the yellow sharps containers or empty bottles of detergent and once full we drop them off at Chemist Warehouse.

After filling up a couple of large sharps bins quickly , I came across a post on here about a small device on amazon that safely clips off the needles and stores them, , fits 1000+ needles amonior on amazon and $7, and then you can put the syringes in the bin safely. Much more compact and cheaper.

Yeah I got one of these from amazon US. They didn’t have it on the Aus site. But so far it’s done well. Saves so much space.

As for sharps containers. I get them on Shein (it’s like $7 for a pack of 3) and the council tip can take them.

So I snip the syringes I use, but the pen tips go in the sharps bin.

There was a local seller selling 3x for $65 but they're temporarily shut down.

Could still be good. My package landed on Easter Sunday and only got released yesterday. Definitely a backlog from Easter public holidays

I’ve had a few slabs on back order since February

Cloudy peps means PH is too low so 4.9ph on that premium supps is likely too low, most peps 5.7-7 is pretty good then just some AA for the ones that need a lower PH or they will gel.

That’s cool, so you just cut the tip off then dispose of the rest in garbage?

I’m very written it off, but if it gets here then win!

Seems like people who ship to Australia are becoming less and less

 

[ESSO88]

Strict customs I guess. So much getting caught

 

[RascalRaccoon]

Anyone here buy from Aussie resellers? Like if you want to try a vial of something before pulling the trigger on a whole kit?
