Syringe Drop Boxes Placed Along Portland Waterfront

(Portland, OR)  --  Officials say two syringe drop boxes have been installed along the Portland waterfront in an effort to get dirty drug needles off the streets.  The effort, which is a partnership between the City of Portland and Multnomah County, is part of the "Healthy Streets" pilot program, which also includes community-awareness programs and outreach to drug users.  Fox-12 reports the drop boxes will be emptied twice a week by a biohazard contractor.
