Sharps Cleanup Questions From Bridlemile and Multnomah County

Is a lancet or insulin needle a sharp?

Yes. Insulin pen needles, lancets and similar small devices are sharps, even though they are used for health care. They should go into a rigid container, never loose into trash.

Can a landlord order a sharps sweep for a rental?

Yes. A property owner can call a cleanup team to search a unit or building. Lease terms and local law decide who pays, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. Ask the team for a record of what was found and removed.

Who removes needles from a property?

A local biohazard cleanup team can search the area and remove needles and other sharps. Some cities and health departments also help with found needles on public land. For a single needle outdoors, the health department is a good first call, and for anything bigger, a cleanup team.

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.
