Step 1: Hazard Assessment
The pros look over the space, count visible sharps and close off the area so no one walks through it during the biohazard cleanup.

Sealed containers and bagged waste leave the property for an approved medical waste site, and you get a record of what was removed.

Sharps Disposal FAQs for Lakewood
Do the pros replace my full sharps container?
Yes. Once the full container is sealed and removed, a new puncture-proof container can be set up in the same spot.
How does contaminated sharps spill cleanup work?
The pros close off the area, pick up every sharp with tools, place them in a rigid container and disinfect the floor and nearby surfaces.
What happens if someone gets stuck by a used needle?
Wash the wound with soap and water and see a doctor right away. Testing and preventive treatment are most effective when started quickly.
Can I use a plastic bottle instead of a sharps container?
Only for a short time. A thick plastic bottle with a screw cap is safer than trash, but a proper container should be used and picked up when full.
What should I do if I find a needle at home?
Do not touch it or recap it. Keep children and pets away, mark the spot and call (253) 453-4973 so the pros can remove it with tools.
