Medical facilities (hospital, urgent care, etc) are already set up to do that. This is not something Rec Centers would or should be involved in. If you found an injured animal you wouldn’t expect a Rec Center to handle it. You would take it to a rehab center where they are set up to help injured animals. So why wouldn’t you take a needle you found to a medical facility where THEY are set up to do that???
It’s a law all recreation centers must have sharps disposal containers and training for the staff on procedures to properly handle
bio hazard . Train the trainer .
