Description
not sure of correct category: Wanted to report that as part of our volunteer cleaning of the beach area in front of the Lake Amphitheater, we found about 20 used syringes -- some with needle exposed. We suppose that people are gathering in this area to do drugs. Can you suggest to whom this should be reported?
