If you find any drug related litter, please don't touch it, there are risks when handling used needles. Report it to the Council straight away and we can give advice on how best to remove it.
If you find needles or syringes on council or school property during working hours, please report this immediately to a member of staff. Somebody may already be trained to deal with it.
