nugget you better think again about how likely it is to get a needle. I walked over 3 in less than fifteen minutes once on a beach. I use long handle scoop so scooped them up & put in bin, as council don't have needle safe bins in area. I did not stay on that beach that night I went home, but have been back many times since.
Thinking about it now putting them in bin wasn't safe either as council worker could be pricked empting bin.
