On 4000 clients, that's still 800 needles per cycle that are not being returned. There's a resident who's been cleaning up the downtown of needles and it's stated that he picked up 800 in one week.
Completely insane.

Yeah imagine that heavy drug users not having 100% buy in to a needle exchange. Truly shocking stuff right here.
