What to do if you find a discarded needle
If you come across a discarded needle, it's important to handle the situation carefully to ensure everyone's safety. Do not touch the needle with your bare hands. Instead, use gloves, tongs or a similar tool to pick it up, place it in a hard plastic container, and seal it tightly. Once secured, take it to a York Region waste depot or use a designated sharps disposal container.
For more detailed information on how to safely handle and dispose of needles, refer to York Region's guidelines at York Region Needle Disposal.
