The Dutch have a problem with bloody or possibly HIV infected needles being found throughout city centers, parks, beaches and stair wells. The problem is so serious that it drove Han Pham to design the Urban Needle Box. This Zippo Lighter styled storage container is very simple in design but provides an easy solution for a complex and growing drug problem worldwide. As a convenient and clearly marked receptacle for used needles, the designer hopes you will be responsible enough to politely use it to store your used needle after you shoot up.

I can see places in Europe going for this (Amsterdam will probably love them), but unfortunately harm reduction - one of the few drug policies that works - is not popular in the UK and despised in the US. Putting these into public spaces will be met with howls of "but it encourages drug use" and "how will I explain this to my incredibly sheltered child?". Shame, as it's a good solution to a serious problem.

I completely agree v0rtex. Condomes were once considered evil satanic inventions that promote promiscuity. Some societies would rather ignore the problem than face it.

Not very good logic to assume that people with serious drug problems are going to be motivated and unselfish enough to get and use one of these.
