However providing income for people unable to have conventional jobs, incentivizing the behaviour you want to see, and cleaning up one of the big safety issues around these sites seems like an easy win.

do you really want to encourage people to go around collecting infectious materials, designed to penetrate the human skin? Encouraging the most desperate, vulnerable just seems like you're setting yourself up for something really bad to happen.
Also, don't they hand them out for free? I can imagine the number of needles distributed would increase dramatically if you gave them away for free and paid money to get them back.
