Medical Waste Disposal Questions From Shannon Hills and Guilford County
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.
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.
Can I take sharps to a pharmacy or fire station?
Some pharmacies, hospitals and local programs accept small household sharps containers, and some do not. Call ahead and ask. Programs differ by city and county, and the local health department can point to the right place.
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.
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.
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.
