This is how you can safely get rid of found sharps:

Do not try to put the cap back on the needle.
Do not snap, break, or bend any part of the needle.
Wear gloves and pick the needle up carefully using tongs or long-nosed pliers
Put the needle in a hard PLASTIC container (empty peanut butter jar, pop or water bottle). Seal it tightly and label it “needle” or “sharps”. Do not use a glass container as it could break.
