    Safe disposal, safe streets? Why NYC is spending $3 million to buy used syringes

    New York City is allocating $3 million in the 2027 budget to continue the Community Syringe Redemption Program (CSRP), which pays participants 20 cents per syringe for safe disposal. The program, operated by Addiction Response Resources, collects used syringes via mobile vans in multiple boroughs and includes harm reduction education. The initiative has collected over 2 million syringes since its 2025 launch, addressing public safety concerns about syringe litter.
