What Franklin Town Property Owners Ask About Biohazard Waste Removal
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.
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.
How long does a pickup take?
A small pickup can be quick, while rooms of mixed waste or a spill cleanup take longer. The time depends on the amount of waste, access to the property and whether surfaces need cleaning. A cleanup team can give a realistic idea once it hears the details.
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 about old medicine?
Medicine is usually kept apart from medical waste. A pharmacy, a take-back program or the local health department can say what applies where you live. A cleanup team can tell you whether it takes medicine or only sharps and clinical waste.
Is a bloody bandage a biohazard?
It can be. A bandage soaked or dripping with blood may carry bloodborne pathogens, and handling it carelessly can expose skin or eyes. A lightly stained one is a smaller concern. If you are unsure, use gloves, bag it, and ask a cleanup team or the local health department what to do.
