Found Needle and Syringe Questions Answered for Bluffdale, UT

The crew cleans and disinfects surfaces where sharps lay, bags soiled items for disposal and checks the area again. If odor or residue is present, the team can address it or suggest the next step.

Will the city remove needles at no charge?
