How many pop cans are in downtown garbage cans? For 10 cents a can we greatly improve the recycling rate.

Maybe we can hook a Rickshaw up to them too? I'm kidding, for some reason that popped into my head.
I question whether the majority of users would care enough about the 10 cents to actually take the time to properly dispose of the needles. I'm almost certain the last thing on a addicts mind is 10 cents immediately after his fix. Incentivising the collection may also open up other liabilities and increased risks to those desperate enough to go looking for and collect them to cash in without proper training, equipment or knowledge. It could also increase the number of stolen new and used needles from doctors offices and clinics.
