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.
