If you find a needle or a syringe in a public place, please report it to our Street Scene team who will collect them:

If you are concerned about the imminent danger to people and want to remove this by collecting the needles or syringes, then you must take precautions:

Do not handle with your bare hands
Sweep them up with a dustpan and brush or something similar
Place them in a coffee jar or tin, or strong plastic box with lid. Keep them in a safe place out of children's reach to await collection
