Needles and needle debris are a challenging issue for the City of Edmonton, however Edmonton is not alone. Strategies to ensure that individuals and communities are as safe and healthy as possible have been undertaken across the globe.
Needles are used by people with specific health conditions and people with specific addictions. Ensuring that people who use needles can access safe disposal and that stray needles and needle debris in the community are dealt with promptly and safely is one of the goals of Capital City Clean Up.
