Please tell me, could i put uneeded medication down the garbage disposal?

Needle Disposal: I would not recommend placing a needle, unused or otherwise down a garbage disposal for safety reasons. Dispose of needles in appropriate sharps containers and return them to a licensed handler of biohazard materials.
