If you find a needle or a syringe in a public place, please report it to our Street Scene team who will collect them:
Tel: 01827 709709 (office hours)
Tel: 01827 59708 (out of office hours)
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
