Needle and Sharps Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Grant Park, Atlanta, GA

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.

What if I find needles in a vacant building?

Do not go in to look. Report it to the owner, the local health department or a cleanup team. A team can sweep the whole building in protective gear, remove the sharps and give the owner a record of the work.

What do you do after the needles are removed?

The crew cleans and disinfects surfaces where sharps lay, bags soiled items for disposal and checks the area again. If odor or residue is present, the team can address it or suggest the next step.

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.

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.

What should I do if I find a needle?

Stay back and keep children and pets away. Do not pick it up. Note where it is and call the local health department or a cleanup team. If anyone is stuck or cut, wash with soap and water, get medical care, and call 911 in an emergency.
