*Needle Safety at Parks and Other Community Areas*

Our city has many beautiful parks with amenities for families, dogs,
bicyclists, walkers, and many more; but unfortunately, some of these parks
also have disposed needles or syringes left on the grass or in the play
areas. To safely deal with needles, here are some tips from the City of
Albuquerque Environmental Health Department:

·       Do not walk or run barefoot in the parks.

·       If you see needles or syringes in city parks, you can call 311 to
request needle pick-up.

·       If you encounter needles and decide to dispose of them, wear latex
rubber gloves or leather utility gloves before handling, to protect against
blood borne pathogens, fluid contamination and chemicals.

·       When picking up needles, ensure that you use tweezers, tongs, or
pliers. Never pick up needles or syringes with your hands, even if you have
gloves.

·       The City requires that needles and syringes are disposed of in
Sharps containers. Some, but not all, APD area commands and substations
have a Sharps container that you can safely dispose of needles.

training, visit: https://www.cabq.gov/environmentalhealth/sharps-disposal
