What Fordham Heights Property Owners Ask About Sharps Removal

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.

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.

Will the cleanup team judge me?

No. Crews focus on safety and cleanup, not on why the needles are there. The team asks only what it needs to plan the work, and you decide what else to share.

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.

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.

What should I do if I find a needle?

Stay back and keep children and pets away. Do not pick it up. Note where it is and call the local health department or a cleanup team. If anyone is stuck or cut, wash with soap and water, get medical care, and call 911 in an emergency.
