Or a $1 needle program and you get a Clean needle rather than money when you bring one back.
Small monetary incentives should solve this problem.
I agree there are trade offs to each of these programs but the current trade off is needles on the streets in these communities posing a risk to all people in the areaz

IF there is a compelling enough reason for needles to leave the site, then this seems like a pretty good idea as a pre-requisite for taking a needle away.
I don't think it's unreasonable to compel a choice between: using a clean needle IN the site vs. using a dirty needle outside the site. If someone is opting for the latter, then it would seem pretty darn close to a lost cause.
