I was in a gas station bathroom and in there was a sharps container. Just thought it was funny.
I would think drug abusers would use and reuse needles..and they probably don't care very much about where they discard them when they do. I've never seen a sharps container in a public place though.
I mean if you think about it, If I'm going to have heroine shooters using my bathrooms I'd at least want to give them a chance to do something responsible.
Furthermore if you have a sharps container it's actually a needle HOLDER that the druggies can break into so that they can re-use them How convenient!

It turns out that preventing secondary harms, by providing these bins or by having needle exchanges, reduces the risks to them and to society. So whilst we might disagree with drug users for a variety of reasons, I would rather that my drug using population have a lower incidence of hep and hiv and that I'm less likely to catch said :censored::censored::censored::censored: when cutting their clothes off.I would think drug abusers would use and reuse needles..and they probably don't care very much about where they discard them when they do.

Actually, if properly designed, it's fairly hard to get a used needle out of one of these things... especially if permanently mounted on the wall.
