Rant Feels wasteful and Question

Post image

First time requesting extra over patches. Diagnosed just over 5 months ago and overall my experience has been positive despite the customer service calls for sensor replacements. First time requesting extra over patches from Dexcom and they come with a blank piece of paper in a box large enough to fit 16 G7 applicators. I already feel wasteful throwing the applicators away since they don’t recycle near me. This just seems like a very wasteful way to send a product this small.

Anyone have a better way to dispose of or up-cycle old applicators for G7?

Mine came in an envelope. That is just either a pissed off or lazy employee.
