Hallo zusammen!
Ich war dieses Wochenende in Oslo und habe dieses Schild neben dem Fluss, rund um den Studentenkomplex, gefunden, das wie Röhren aussieht. Ich habe Google Lens zum Übersetzen verwendet, aber immer noch nicht verstanden, wozu das Ding genau dient?

Trash can for used needles.
Its for disposing used needles (for heroin addicted people).
Drug addicts
It tells you to throw used syringes there, it warns you not to share your syringes with others and also where you can go to get new and clean syringes safely
Drugs.
Specifically used needles
It’s a box where drug users can safely throw away used needles.
It’s for disposing of needles and syringes used by drug users. It’s part of a harm reduction program. It also says where one can get sterile needles
It says ‘thanks for throwing away used syringes here’, ‘always use new, sterile syringes. Avoid sharing with others’
‘New syringes can be found at Prindsen reception centre during opening hours’
In addition to being a needle disposal, it informs on where to get clean and safe needles for free, and discourages sharing needles. Harm reduction measures
To dispose of used needles for drug users. Used needles laying around on the ground can be dangerous, and reusing (or even sharing) needles can definitely be dangerous. So this is an effort to get users to dispose of them safely.
Usually, these are for needles for people who use them for drugs like heroine. When there’s a container for it, there must be a known problem.
Collecting used syringes so they are not thrown away or reused. Norway believes that drug addicts are part of society and should be taken care of.

Thank you all for answers!
Now after your aswers I started reading about the harm reduction program for drugs. Interesting stuff.
What do you think?
It’s a geocache. You can try sliding your hand in there for fun >:D
Unrelated comment but Oslo’s city emblem got rid of the lady!!
Free needles if u can open the box
Kind of obvious, isn’t it? To dispose of syringes
You get free needles from a organisation about clean drug usage. Its a program to lower the amount of diseases in the group of people that are addicted. With free needles theres also many that aren’t the cleanest and just throws it around. So this box is for used needles. Usually a thing in Oslo or Bergen. Which has the largest groups of heroin addicts in Norway. Its not usually seen outside those areas.
