Stay back and keep others away. Do not pick up the needles. Note where they are and call a cleanup team or the local health department. A team can sweep the property, collect every sharp and haul the waste away.
Many cleanup teams offer scheduled pickups for small practices, salons, tattoo shops and care homes. Ask about frequency, container types and record keeping when you call. A good team explains the plan, the price range and what will be removed before it starts.
