The CT has this story about nearly 5000 syringes being dumped in recycling bins across Canberra, putting the people who do the sorting of recyclables at risk.
Add to this the 3401 syringes that were were dumped in public places, and I get the distinct impression that Canberra’s junkies aren’t signing up to Canberras No Waste by 2010 drive.
PS if you ever find a syringe you can call the SHARPS Hotline on 132281
