Sharps Cleanup Questions From St. Bernard and Hamilton County

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 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.

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.

How long does a needle cleanup take?

A small yard or single room can be quick, while a building or large lot takes longer. Clutter, hidden spots and the amount of sharps affect the time. A cleanup team can give a realistic idea once it hears the details.

Can needles be hidden inside furniture or walls?

They can be tucked into couch cushions, mattress seams, drawers, vents and ceiling tiles. That is why a sharps sweep covers more than the floor. Crews check hidden spots with tools and light before declaring a room clear.

What is a sharps container?

It is a rigid, puncture-resistant box with a locking lid, made to hold needles, syringes, lancets and blades. Cleanup teams use them to seal sharps for transport. Containers should not be overfilled or opened again once locked.
