What should I do if I find a needle on the street?
The Community Liaison Officer Program (CLOs) is able to receive reports of discarded needles, and can pass along the report to the appropriate department. To report a needle in the community, please reach out to them by phone (you can call or text) or email.
- Call or text: 672-963-3142
- Email: crisesresponse@newwestcity.ca

If you are a business owner in the Downtown New West area, and you are part of the Biohazardous Waste Program, you may submit a report through the program.
Please note: the phone line is regularly monitored Monday to Friday between 7:30am to 4pm.
