Medical Waste Disposal Questions From Lykens and Dauphin County

How much does medical waste removal cost?

The price depends on the amount and type of waste, the number of containers, any spill cleanup, travel and access. A cleanup team can give a price after hearing the details. Ask what is included, such as disinfecting the area and disposal records.

Can I take sharps to a pharmacy or fire station?

Some pharmacies, hospitals and local programs accept small household sharps containers, and some do not. Call ahead and ask. Programs differ by city and county, and the local health department can point to the right place.

Do I need to be home during the pickup?

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. If you are out of town, say so when you call. Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle, so ask if privacy matters.

What about old medicine?

Medicine is usually kept apart from medical waste. A pharmacy, a take-back program or the local health department can say what applies where you live. A cleanup team can tell you whether it takes medicine or only sharps and clinical waste.

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. Poison Control can answer exposure questions. Tell the doctor what happened and, if you can, where the needle was found.

Is a bloody bandage a biohazard?

It can be. A bandage soaked or dripping with blood may carry bloodborne pathogens, and handling it carelessly can expose skin or eyes. A lightly stained one is a smaller concern. If you are unsure, use gloves, bag it, and ask a cleanup team or the local health department what to do.
