Drug Paraphernalia Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Eddyville, IA
Do I need to be there during the work?
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.
Is drug paraphernalia a biohazard?
It can be. Used syringes and other sharps can carry bloodborne germs, and residue can harm people who touch or swallow it. A cleanup team can look at what is there and explain how it should be handled. Do not touch it until then.
What about drug use in a vehicle?
Vehicles can hold syringes, residue and odor in seats, carpets and vents. Ask whether the team cleans vehicles and how soft materials are treated. Crews use the same protective gear and sealed containers as in a building.
How long does cleanup take?
A single room can be cleared quickly, while a house with hidden items, soiled carpet and odor takes longer. The time depends on the amount of material and access. A team can give a realistic idea after hearing the details.
Is it okay to throw paraphernalia in the trash?
Loose syringes should never go in household trash, because they can stab sanitation workers. Other items may carry residue. A cleanup team seals and disposes of everything the safe way.
What 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 where the needle was found, if you know.
