Caernarfon,North Wales - 'Disgusting' bins in Caernarfon bus station public toilets overflowing with used needles

Dylan Evans shared the images of the sharp bins in the men's toilets on social media to warn others to keep away

These images show bins overflowing with needles and drugs paraphernalia at the bus station public toilets in Caernarfon.
The photos of the sharp bins, where people can dispose of used needles or sharps, were taken in the men's public toilets on Tuesday afternoon.
Dylan Evans, from Caernarfon, posted the pictures on social media to warn others to keep clear of the toilets.
He said: "When will the council empty these boxes? I think it's so horrible to even put these in toilets that children use as well. Caernarfon bus stop toilets keep clear."
Each separate cubicle has a sharp box and each box was overflowing with needles and foil was left on the floor- despite the council saying they are emptied on a daily basis.
Dylan, 25, added: "I posted on my Facebook and over a couple of hundred people disliked the post and are saying it's disgusting and something needs to be done. I've seen it a few times like this before.
"When I was on the way to pick my little boy up in Bangor it was the same there."
Earlier this month bus driver Gavin Rodda shared images showing evidence of drug use at Wrexham bus station.
The images show people slumped or sleeping in the King Street station and bloodied needles and drugs paraphernalia in the toilets.

Mr Rodda was praised for highlighting the problem in the town and showing the extent of drug use.
After the Daily Post broke the story it was picked up by national newspapers.
A Gwynedd Council spokesman said: "The boxes are emptied by council staff on a daily basis as necessary.
"These boxes are clearly signed for the disposal of hypodermic needles only, however on occasion other litter is disposed in the boxes leaving less space for the disposal of hypodermic needles."
