Medical Waste Removal Frequently Asked Questions in Plainfield Village, CT
How should I store sharps until the team arrives?
Leave the items where they are if you can, and keep people and pets away. Do not try to move loose needles by hand. When you call, ask whether the team can bring a container, and follow its advice. If anyone is stuck, wash the area and get medical care.
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.
Is this medical advice?
No. This page explains the process of medical waste removal. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For exposure or symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for rules in your area, ask the local health department.
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.
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 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.
