THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE NOW HAS A PLAN TO CLEAN UP THE NEEDLES AND SYRINGES IN CITY PARKS AND ELSEWHERE. THE PLAN WAS ANNOUNCED MONDAY BY MAYOR TIM KELLER, WHO SAYS THE NEW INITIATIVE WILL COORDINATE QUICK RESPONSE WHEN RESIDENTS REPORT NEEDLES FOUND IN PUBLIC PLACES LIKE PARKS.
ALBUQUERQUE’S NEW “ONE A-B-Q” APP ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO REPORT THE LOCATION WHERE THOSE ITEMS WERE FOUND. YOU CAN ALSO CALL 3-1-1. AND THERE WILL BE SIX SECURITY DROP BOXES AROUND TOWN WHERE YOU CAN PERSONALLY DISPOSE OF ANY NEEDLES OR SYRINGES. THE DROP BOX WAS DONATED BY THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
