Medical Waste Disposal Questions From Sterling and Glynn County
How should I store sharps until the team arrives?
Leave the items where they are if you can, and keep people and pets away. Do not try to move loose needles by hand. When you call, ask whether the team can bring a container, and follow its advice. If anyone is stuck, wash the area and get medical care.
What should I do if someone is stuck by a needle?
Wash the area with soap and water and get medical care right away. Call 911 in an emergency. Poison Control can answer exposure questions. Tell the doctor what happened and, if you can, where the needle was found.
Will neighbors know a cleanup team is at my property?
Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle and work quietly. If privacy matters, ask about it when you call. The team asks only what it needs to plan the job, and you decide what else to share.
What about old medicine?
Medicine is usually kept apart from medical waste. A pharmacy, a take-back program or the local health department can say what applies where you live. A cleanup team can tell you whether it takes medicine or only sharps and clinical waste.
Where can I dispose of biohazard waste?
Options depend on the amount and the place. Some counties and pharmacies have drop-off points for small household sharps. For larger amounts, clinical waste or items from a cleanup, a biohazard pickup service takes the waste to a proper facility. The local health department can describe local programs.
Can a cleanup team handle waste from a home care patient?
Yes. Used needles, lancets, dressings and disposable supplies from home care can be collected and disposed of. Families often call after a long illness, a hospice stay or a move. You get a team to take care of the waste so family members do not have to.
