I use old prescription bottles. Actually right now I have a large one just collecting any sharps in my sewing room. Bent pins, old needles, etc.
I put mine in a small sharpies container we got at the pharmacy....same for the rotary blades.
I put mine in a Cracker barrel syrup bottle. They are glass and I know nobody will get stuck when I throw them out. I have a sharps container I put the bottles in and it will take me years to fill up the sharps container. I will deal with it when that time comes.
You can use them as nails to hang things with. I used some to put up a wall hanging at Christmas time. They went straight through the edge of the binding and made such tiny holes right up near the molding that there was no need to patch the wall.
I put mine in a coffee can along with used rotary blades. Then when I'm ready I just pitch the entire container.
I keep used and broken needles in empty Altoids boxes until filled then toss the box in the trash.
I have a closet full of voodoo dolls who are screaming for attention. I just can't go through needles fast enough.
Mine go in the garbage with the rest of my sewing trash like Cat n Bull does.
Save them all year (an old Rx container works well) and then on February 8th you can celebrate Hari-Kuyo, the Japanese observance of bent and broken needles.
