What River Park Property Owners Ask About Sharps Removal
Are pets at risk from needles?
Yes. Dogs and cats may sniff, chew or step on sharps. Keep pets away from the area until a cleanup team has searched it. If a pet is stuck or swallowed something, call a veterinarian right away.
Do I need to find every needle first?
No. Do not search for them yourself. Tell the team what you have seen and where, and the crew will check the rest of the space in protective gear. Searching by hand is how many sticks happen.
Do I need to be on site?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask the team how access and keys can be arranged. Many teams can also arrive in an unmarked vehicle, so ask about that if privacy matters to you.
Can I put needles in the regular trash?
Loose needles should not go in household trash, because they can stab sanitation workers. Rules for small amounts of household sharps vary by city and county. The local health department can say what is allowed, and a cleanup team can take larger amounts.
Who removes needles from a property?
A local biohazard cleanup team can search the area and remove needles and other sharps. Some cities and health departments also help with found needles on public land. For a single needle outdoors, the health department is a good first call, and for anything bigger, a cleanup team.
What do you do after the needles are removed?
The crew cleans and disinfects surfaces where sharps lay, bags soiled items for disposal and checks the area again. If odor or residue is present, the team can address it or suggest the next step.
