What Rio Grande Park Property Owners Ask About Sharps Removal
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.
Should I recap or bend a needle?
No. Recapping or bending a used needle is one of the most common ways people get stuck. Leave it where it is and let a cleanup team lift it with a tool and place it in a container.
Who removes needles from a property?
A local biohazard cleanup team can search the area and remove needles and other sharps. Some cities and health departments also help with found needles on public land. For a single needle outdoors, the health department is a good first call, and for anything bigger, a cleanup team.
What if I find needles in a vacant building?
Do not go in to look. Report it to the owner, the local health department or a cleanup team. A team can sweep the whole building in protective gear, remove the sharps and give the owner a record of the work.
Is it safe to pick up one needle myself?
Safer options exist. Many cities and health departments have programs for found needles and may give instructions or send someone. If you are unsure, do not touch it. Leaving a needle in place and keeping others away is safer than risking a stick.
