Medical Waste Disposal Questions From Hillside and El Paso County
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.
Is this medical advice?
No. This page explains the process of medical waste removal. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For exposure or symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for rules in your area, ask the local health department.
Who pays for medical waste removal at a rental?
Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible for waste left in a unit. A property owner can still hire a cleanup team to clear the waste first, and keep the record the team gives you.
How do you dispose of biohazard waste?
Biohazard waste is sorted, sealed in labeled puncture-resistant containers or bags, hauled to a facility that treats regulated medical waste, and then disposed of. Biohazard disposal companies pack it so nothing leaks, and it never goes in the regular trash. A cleanup team can explain each step of the route.
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.
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.
