Where to donate older pump and infusion sets?

[kolakowski]

John and company -

I just upgraded to a new pump.
The old pump is mine (so I am told).
I also have a a bunch of infusion sets.

Where do other people donate these supplies. I just cannot see throwing these out. Maybe Minimed should figure out how to donate these to a foundation that might provide these to diabetes who do not have insurance?

Any information would be very helpful.

Thanks

Very good question, Frank. I have an old 507 and supplies which haven't been touched for 4 years. Been on a pump for over 11 years. Maybe John has an answer...I'm waiting...

Most Diabetic/Endocrinologist offices will take these for their patients who do not have insurance.

I know on insulin pumpers they often collect surplus supplies which are then given to persons who have trouble buying needed supllies. You can find the site by just searching for insulin-pumpers.org or typing that in for an address. They don't pay postage so that is also part of your donation for a good cause.
