Medical Waste Disposal Questions From Volker and Jackson County
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 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.
Can a cleanup team handle waste from a home care patient?
Yes. Used needles, lancets, dressings and disposable supplies from home care can be collected and disposed of. Families often call after a long illness, a hospice stay or a move. You get a team to take care of the waste so family members do not have to.
What if I find needles at a vacant property?
Stay back and keep others away. Do not pick up the needles. Note where they are and call a cleanup team or the local health department. A team can sweep the property, collect every sharp and haul the waste away.
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.
How do you dispose of biohazard waste?
Biohazard waste is sorted, sealed in labeled puncture-resistant containers or bags, hauled to a facility that treats regulated medical waste, and then disposed of. Biohazard disposal companies pack it so nothing leaks, and it never goes in the regular trash. A cleanup team can explain each step of the route.
