What South Beach Property Owners Ask About Biohazard Waste Removal
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. Poison Control can answer exposure questions. Tell the doctor what happened and, if you can, where the needle was found.
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 medical waste removal different from biohazard cleanup?
They overlap. Medical waste removal focuses on collecting and disposing of the waste. Biohazard waste cleanup also covers cleaning and disinfecting the area, removing soaked materials and treating odor. Many jobs include both, and a cleanup team can tell you which fits.
Where can I dispose of biohazard waste?
Options depend on the amount and the place. Some counties and pharmacies have drop-off points for small household sharps. For larger amounts, clinical waste or items from a cleanup, a biohazard pickup service takes the waste to a proper facility. The local health department can describe local programs.
What counts as medical waste?
Medical waste is waste that may carry germs. Examples include used needles and syringes, dressings soaked with blood or bodily fluids, and clinical waste from a practice or lab. A cleanup team can look at what you have and explain how each item is handled. You do not need to sort it first.
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.
