An old soft drink bottle makes a good enough sharps container. I’ve had a few official ones for work over the years.

Well it’s still awkward and a bit fraught. Stupid needle caps coming off way more easily than the part you need to remove.
But I’ve given subcutaneous fluids a couple of times now, unassisted. Definitely need to get a sharps container with a removal port as that will be much easier and safer.

It’s more needing the notch that helps pull the old needle off the tube so I can change it.
It really gets stuck on there and trying to just pull it off tends to dislodge the cap instead
