What McClellan Park Property Owners Ask About Sharps Removal
Is it safe to pick up one needle myself?
Safer options exist. Many cities and health departments have programs for found needles and may give instructions or send someone. If you are unsure, do not touch it. Leaving a needle in place and keeping others away is safer than risking a stick.
Does insurance cover needle cleanup?
Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and many do not cover needles on their own. Call your insurance company before work starts, take photos from a safe spot, and keep every receipt. Check your policy rather than assuming.
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.
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.
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.
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.
