Regina,

First, why were they accepted??

Second, you should contact a local hospital or clinic and see if they are willing to dispose of them in their standard sharps and biohazard trash.

Cheers!

Hello all! 
A quick question for this Wednesday. Last week I was left a box of old glass syringes, complete with some needles, at the front desk of the museum. Since they are not pieces with any story or local connection I am trying to figure out how to safely dispose of them and was wondering if anyone has run into this in the past and what their course of action was. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,
Regina
