Report Details

AI-generated, reviewed by reporter

Open needles and discarded medical supplies are present near the greenhouse entrance at Carlton Street. This biohazard waste requires professional cleanup due to bloodborne pathogen exposure risk and cannot be handled by standard waste services. Three litter bins are nearby with regular collection, but specialized remediation is needed for safe removal.
