This dataset contains records of syringes collected, including how many, whether they are collected from the ground or a kiosk, and when they are collected. The Syringe Summary dataset contains records for syringes collected by both Parks staff as well as collection efforts by the Washington Heights Corner Project (https://www.nycservice.org/organizations/index.php?org_id=1462) and New York Harm Reduction Educators (https://nyhre.org/) nonprofit group

• One line of data represents single syringe collection kiosk location, its capacity, how it is mounted, and when it was installed.
• Data is collected via an ArcGIS Online web application.
• Data is updated as necessary as kiosks are installed, moved, or removed. However, there is a delay between these actions happening and when the data is updated to reflect them.
• The installation date is known to be incomplete. Minor shifts in kiosk locations do not typically entail the creation of a new record, rather the point is simply moved.
