Medical Waste Disposal Questions From Lebanon and Linn County
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.
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.
Can I take sharps to a pharmacy or fire station?
Some pharmacies, hospitals and local programs accept small household sharps containers, and some do not. Call ahead and ask. Programs differ by city and county, and the local health department can point to the right place.
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.
How should I store sharps until the team arrives?
Leave the items where they are if you can, and keep people and pets away. Do not try to move loose needles by hand. When you call, ask whether the team can bring a container, and follow its advice. If anyone is stuck, wash the area and get medical care.
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.
