Needle and Sharps Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Pierre Part, LA
What do you do after the needles are removed?
The crew cleans and disinfects surfaces where sharps lay, bags soiled items for disposal and checks the area again. If odor or residue is present, the team can address it or suggest the next step.
Do I need to be on site?
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. Many teams can also arrive in an unmarked vehicle, so ask about that if privacy matters to you.
What is a sharps container?
It is a rigid, puncture-resistant box with a locking lid, made to hold needles, syringes, lancets and blades. Cleanup teams use them to seal sharps for transport. Containers should not be overfilled or opened again once locked.
Are pets at risk from needles?
Yes. Dogs and cats may sniff, chew or step on sharps. Keep pets away from the area until a cleanup team has searched it. If a pet is stuck or swallowed something, call a veterinarian right away.

Can a landlord order a sharps sweep for a rental?
