Common Questions About Needle Disposal in Wilson Park
Can I get a disease from a needle stick?
A used needle can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. The chance of infection from one stick depends on many things, and a doctor can explain what applies. Get medical care promptly after any stick or cut.
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.
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.
How much does needle and sharps cleanup cost?
The price depends on the size of the area, the number of sharps and access. A short sweep costs less than a full building. A cleanup team can give a real price after hearing the details, and it should explain what is included before work begins.
Are children at risk from found needles?
Yes, because children may pick up what they find. Teach children to stay back from any needle and tell an adult. If a child touches or is stuck by a needle, wash the area, get medical care and call Poison Control.
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.
