How Needle and Sharps Cleanup Works in Martindale, TX

1. Assess the property

A walk around the property shows how large the search is, from one corner of a yard to a whole building.

2. Isolate what is found

Sharps are separated from other items so soft goods are not handled until the sweep is done.

3. Seal and label

Sharps are locked in secure containers marked for medical waste.

4. Clean and confirm

Surfaces are disinfected, the area gets a final walk-through, and the sealed containers are hauled away.

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, or Poison Control with exposure questions. Tell the doctor what happened and where the needle was found, if you know. Do not wait to see whether symptoms appear.

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?
