Common Questions About Needle Disposal in Pocahontas

Are pets at risk from needles?

Yes. Dogs and cats may sniff, chew or step on sharps. Keep pets away from the area until a cleanup team has searched it. If a pet is stuck or swallowed something, call a veterinarian right away.

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.

Will the city remove needles at no charge?

Some cities and counties collect found needles from public land at no charge, and many do not. Availability varies. The local health department or public works office can say what exists where you live, and a cleanup team can help with private property.

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.

Do I need to be on site?

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. Many teams can also arrive in an unmarked vehicle, so ask about that if privacy matters to you.

Can I get a disease from a needle stick?

A used needle can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. The chance of infection from one stick depends on many things, and a doctor can explain what applies. Get medical care promptly after any stick or cut.
