If we made proper disposal available who knows how many would use them.

It would be a start if nothing else imo.
As I understand it, the problem with needle disposal boxes is that you either put in low volume ones, which require a lot of attention to maintain (nearly daily) or you put in large volume ones, which are almost constantly broken into/damaged from junkies trying to get at the needles inside. Either way, it's a lot of money thrown at the problem.
