Dr Peter gave the main piece of advice required here - don't go onto the land.
Under the Health & Safety at Work Act all employers have to provide a safe working environment - land strewn with drug-using paraphernalia cannot be considered to be safe.
Your employer should request that the client / landowner clean the site up before any archaeological work commences. I wouldn't bother involving the council unless the land is council-owned. The site should be secured in order to prevent drug users from continuing to use it.
