Look up to see if your garbage service will take it. Mine does. You just have to duct tape it closed...in fact, it doesn't have to be a bio-hazard container, it can just be an empty liquid laundry detergent container, with duct tape around it and marked "Insulin Syringes".

Also, most fire stations, local hospitals, some pharmacies, and doctor's offices will take them for you.
