I'm hoping someone can help me with this question. I see a patient daily to flush a double lumen Hickman catheter with Heparin. There are no sharps involved. The sharps containers provided by the infusion company are very small and fill within day...

Thanks for the responses! Would you also dispose of a used heparin vial in a regular trash can in the home? I am just curious. I previously worked in the hospital where we disposed these items into the sharps containers.
