The team wears protective equipment and follows the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.

What Hutchinson Property Owners Ask About Biohazard Waste Removal
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.
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.
Is a sharps container the same as a biohazard bin?
Not exactly. A sharps container is a rigid, puncture-resistant box made for needles and similar items. A biohazard bin or bag holds other contaminated waste, such as soaked dressings. A cleanup team uses both and seals them for transport.
Do I have to sort the waste before the team comes?
No. Leave it as it is and keep people and pets away. Sorting by hand is how many sticks and splashes happen. The cleanup team sorts and packs everything with protective gear and the right containers.
What are bloodborne pathogens?
They are germs that spread through blood and some other body fluids. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV are examples. Workers who may come into contact with them are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.
How long does a pickup take?
A small pickup can be quick, while rooms of mixed waste or a spill cleanup take longer. The time depends on the amount of waste, access to the property and whether surfaces need cleaning. A cleanup team can give a realistic idea once it hears the details.
