The purpose of the event is a large-scale neighborhood clean-up, featuring demonstrations of the safe disposal of sharps litter found on the ground. With the right knowledge, residents in other neighborhoods can also address spots that need to be cleaned up.<\/p>\n

With some common household supplies, such as an empty hard-sided laundry detergent jug, residents can follow easy steps to safely dispose of sharps litter themselves,\u201d said Nicole Davidson-Wert, RCAHD Population Health Community Coordinator. \u201cResidents can learn how to safely take action themselves, however if an area has more than a few sharps on the ground, residents can also to request a special sharps clean-up through the Council of Community Services Drop-In Center or the Virginia Harm Reduction Coalition using a form<\/a><\/span> on our website.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
