Common Questions About Medical Waste Pickup in Wendell
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.
What counts as medical waste?
Medical waste is waste that may carry germs. Examples include used needles and syringes, dressings soaked with blood or bodily fluids, and clinical waste from a practice or lab. A cleanup team can look at what you have and explain how each item is handled. You do not need to sort it first.
Can medical waste go in the regular trash?
Needles and soaked items should not go in household trash. They can injure sanitation workers and spread germs. Rules for small household amounts of sharps vary by city and county, so the local health department can say what applies. A cleanup team can take anything larger or anything from another person's care.
Is a sharps container the same as a biohazard bin?
Not exactly. A sharps container is a rigid, puncture-resistant box made for needles and similar items. A biohazard bin or bag holds other contaminated waste, such as soaked dressings. A cleanup team uses both and seals them for transport.
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.
What are bloodborne pathogens?
They are germs that spread through blood and some other body fluids. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV are examples. Workers who may come into contact with them are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.
