Found Needle and Syringe Questions Answered for Wilsonville, OR

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.

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.

Is it safe to pick up one needle myself?

Safer options exist. Many cities and health departments have programs for found needles and may give instructions or send someone. If you are unsure, do not touch it. Leaving a needle in place and keeping others away is safer than risking a stick.

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.

Can I get a disease from a needle stick?

A used needle can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. The chance of infection from one stick depends on many things, and a doctor can explain what applies. Get medical care promptly after any stick or cut.

Will the city remove needles at no charge?

Some cities and counties collect found needles from public land at no charge, and many do not. Availability varies. The local health department or public works office can say what exists where you live, and a cleanup team can help with private property.
