Thank you. Your active participation in retrieving discarded needles and drug paraphernalia has made a positive impact on Ottawa’s communities. By reporting your collections, you assist Ottawa Public Health to understand the situation at the neighbourhood level, identify trends, and adjust service levels.
How to use the webform
Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*). Hover over the ? symbol for further instruction on how to complete each section. For instructions on how to safely handle and dispose of needles, watch this video.
This webform is intended for community members who retrieve and discard drug paraphernalia themselves. Call 311 to report the discarded item if you prefer to have a city staff retrieve it. In that case, City staff will report the item to Ottawa Public Health directly and completing this webform is not required. This webform will not dispatch City staff.
Record the quantity of each item type found. Select "Add Item" to record another item.
