Since needles and gloves may be infected with hazardous material, it is important that you use the correct methods when disposing them. Once properly bagged, they must be put in the red sharps bin that can be found in pharmacies and clinical waste centres. If you threw them away by accident, you should immediately contact your local Environmental Protection Agency for instruction on how to properly dispose of the items.

Used needles and gloves from a small clinic should be Disposed of through a health care facility's sharps waste container, not in the regular trash bin. Sharps waste containers are special bins that prevent needle stick injury, stop disease transmission, and are capable of safely disposing of biohazardous materials like used needles and gloves.
