Kevin Rice of Munical Operations tells us under the solid waste by-law that bag is tagged with a non-collection notice and its left at the curb.
Rice tells CHSJ News it happened to one man who then got a call from the Fundy Solid Waste Commission on what to do next.
He says the man was a diabetic and he was told they should be taken to the hospital for disposal and he took care of it.
Rice adds city staff are very aware of the risk of sharps in the garbage and they wear special gloves to protect their hands especially when working at night. For more information, go to country94.ca and click news.
