They weren't saying there is anything wrong with the syringe disposal per se, but instead that it's indicative of the people who use those facilities and the priorities of the authorities that manage them.

It is observed that you have junkies shooting up in bathrooms, evidenced by needles strewn on the ground. So the solution from the authorities is to install syringe disposal containers.

Given the cost vs the benefits, why not? A box mounted to a wall is a pittance.

Feel free to elaborate your plan for the junkies that would be both cost effective, practical and ethical.
