Needles
If you find any drug-related litter, please don't touch it – there are risks when handling used needles. The correct protective equipment and disposal methods must be followed.
If you find needles or syringes on council or school property during working hours, please report this immediately to a member of staff. Somebody on site may already be trained to deal with it.
NOS Canisters
Used Nitrous Oxide Canisters (N20, NOS, Laughing Gas) can also be reported for removal. The empty silver vessels are often discarded in large piles in parks, open spaces and alleyways. They are unsightly and spoil community spaces for others.
The balloons, which are often used to inhale the gas once dispensed from the canisters, can also have a deadly impact on wildlife, such as birds, who mistake them for food. For information about the risks of Nitrous Oxide, visit #N2othingtolaughabout
Private land
Private land owners are responsible for the removal of drugs litter from their own property; however, the council can arrange its removal at a small cost.
