Sharps Cleanup Questions From Chisholm and St. Louis 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, or Poison Control with exposure questions. Tell the doctor what happened and where the needle was found, if you know. Do not wait to see whether symptoms appear.

Who pays for needle removal at a rental property?

Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible. In many cases the property owner books the sweep first so the unit can be used again, and the cost is sorted out afterward.

What should I do if I find a needle?

Stay back and keep children and pets away. Do not pick it up. Note where it is and call the local health department or a cleanup team. If anyone is stuck or cut, wash with soap and water, get medical care, and call 911 in an emergency.

Do I need to be on site?

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. Many teams can also arrive in an unmarked vehicle, so ask about that if privacy matters to you.

Can I get a disease from a needle stick?

A used needle can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. The chance of infection from one stick depends on many things, and a doctor can explain what applies. Get medical care promptly after any stick or cut.

What is a sharps container?

It is a rigid, puncture-resistant box with a locking lid, made to hold needles, syringes, lancets and blades. Cleanup teams use them to seal sharps for transport. Containers should not be overfilled or opened again once locked.
