Safe Sharps Disposal for GLP-1 Users

Properly disposing of used pens or needles isn’t just good practice—it’s the law in many states and helps protect your household, sanitation workers, and the environment from accidental injury and contamination.

If you use GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro, you likely qualify for a free sharps container through your pharmacy or insurance. But if you need a secure and compliant mail-back option, services like PureWay make it easy to do your part safely from home.

Their mail-back kits include everything: the container, prepaid shipping, tracking, and a disposal certificate. Once full, you simply package the container using the included materials and either give it to your mail carrier or schedule a pickup. It's that simple.

PureWay has gone above and beyond to support the GLP-1 Collective. They've donated sharps containers for our live demos and patient giveaways, provided custom QR codes for our New Patient Welcome Kits, contributed funding to help us build those kits, and offered an exclusive discount for our community members.

This resource is provided in partnership with PureWay Compliance, whose early support has helped us bring sharps education and safe disposal options directly to the GLP-1 community.
