Sharps Cleanup Questions From Wellsville and Montgomery County
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.
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.
Should I recap or bend a needle?
No. Recapping or bending a used needle is one of the most common ways people get stuck. Leave it where it is and let a cleanup team lift it with a tool and place it in a container.
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.
What should I do if I find a needle?
Stay back and keep children and pets away. Do not pick it up. Note where it is and call the local health department or a cleanup team. If anyone is stuck or cut, wash with soap and water, get medical care, and call 911 in an emergency.
What if I find needles in a vacant building?
Do not go in to look. Report it to the owner, the local health department or a cleanup team. A team can sweep the whole building in protective gear, remove the sharps and give the owner a record of the work.
