Medical Waste Disposal Questions From Hazelwood and Allegheny County
Do I have to sort the waste before the team comes?
No. Leave it as it is and keep people and pets away. Sorting by hand is how many sticks and splashes happen. The cleanup team sorts and packs everything with protective gear and the right containers.
Is medical waste removal different from biohazard cleanup?
They overlap. Medical waste removal focuses on collecting and disposing of the waste. Biohazard waste cleanup also covers cleaning and disinfecting the area, removing soaked materials and treating odor. Many jobs include both, and a cleanup team can tell you which fits.
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 if I find needles at a vacant property?
Stay back and keep others away. Do not pick up the needles. Note where they are and call a cleanup team or the local health department. A team can sweep the property, collect every sharp and haul the waste away.
Do I need to be home during the pickup?
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. If you are out of town, say so when you call. Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle, so ask if privacy matters.
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.
