A Safer SF for All
Funded by the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH), our Pick Up Crew works 7 days a week in neighborhoods across the city to pick up and safely dispose of improperly discarded syringes.
Call us at 415-818-7769, 7 am to 7 pm, Monday through Friday, and we will stop by to safely remove any syringes on the street. You can also report improperly discarded injection equipment to 311. If you see syringes on the street, do not touch or try to move them.
Every participant accessing supplies at one of our sites is provided with a medical waste container to dispose of syringes and information about where to safely drop off used sharps containers for disposal.
Keeping San Francisco safer for all means providing access to supplies that reduce the transmission of HIV and hepatitis C, as well as teaching everyone how to properly dispose of syringes and providing an on-demand disposal service.
