Description

I first called 242-cops at 5pm. I indicated that I found 3 syringes. (ended up being 6) I was on hold, discontented 6 times, transferred back to 242-cops, after being on hold again when I was transferred to the fire department I was disconnected. I called 311 to ask if he would get the information to them. He argued with me and said it is the homeowners responsibility! It is a health hazard every where in this country. Only the fire department is trained and have a sharps container. A young fireman began to tell me I could pick them up and put them in a plastic container! NO it is a health hazard! This comes from the Department of Health. This is outrageous. In addition I recently spoke with a security guard at the bus station downtown and he indicated that he picks up at least 9 a day. Why haven't people in this community been educated about this!?
