Hi all

i had my second cycle on Friday, and have to inject myself Tuesday -Saturday. The hospital gave me sharps bin after my first cycle, so it already has a couple of used needles in. However.. I’m going to stay with my parents next weekend- when I still need to do the injections. 

Can I close the flap/lid on the bin to stop the needles coming out, and reopen once I’m at my parents.. or is it a case of once it’s closed, that’s it, not to be re-opened? 

Many thanks!
