Report needles and sharp items

We will clean and dispose of litter from areas we are responsible for, including if the litter includes needles, syringes, or other sharp items such as glass. 

If you see needles or syringes do not touch them.

To make a report you will need to know where the needles and syringes, or other rubbish, is.

Once reported we will attend to see how much rubbish there is and if it is our responsibility. If so, we will remove it.
