Needle and Sharps Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Worth Heights, Fort Worth, TX
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.
Are pets at risk from needles?
Yes. Dogs and cats may sniff, chew or step on sharps. Keep pets away from the area until a cleanup team has searched it. If a pet is stuck or swallowed something, call a veterinarian right away.
Are children at risk from found needles?
Yes, because children may pick up what they find. Teach children to stay back from any needle and tell an adult. If a child touches or is stuck by a needle, wash the area, get medical care and call Poison Control.
What do you do after the needles are removed?
The crew cleans and disinfects surfaces where sharps lay, bags soiled items for disposal and checks the area again. If odor or residue is present, the team can address it or suggest the next step.
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.
How are the needles disposed of?
Sealed, puncture-resistant containers are hauled as regulated medical waste to a facility that treats it. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Ask the team how its waste is hauled and request a record.
