Service Description
If you see a discarded needle, you can choose to dispose of it yourself, or you can report it to have someone come and pick it up.
- Through the app/website (reportneedles.ca), people who come across needles can register their exact location on a map and then upload a picture of what they see to help guide those who will be cleaning them up to the precise spot.
- An APSS staff member closest to the reported discarded needle will come out and dispose of the discarded needles, even after office hours.
- As an optional feature, those who want confirmation that the needles are gone can enter contact information to receive a notification that the situation has been dealt with.
