What Ozone Park Property Owners Ask About Sharps Removal
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.
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.
Can I put needles in the regular trash?
Loose needles should not go in household trash, because they can stab sanitation workers. Rules for small amounts of household sharps vary by city and county. The local health department can say what is allowed, and a cleanup team can take larger amounts.
How much does needle and sharps cleanup cost?
The price depends on the size of the area, the number of sharps and access. A short sweep costs less than a full building. A cleanup team can give a real price after hearing the details, and it should explain what is included before work begins.
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.
