What Kennedy Heights Property Owners Ask About Sharps Removal

Do I need to find every needle first?

No. Do not search for them yourself. Tell the team what you have seen and where, and the crew will check the rest of the space in protective gear. Searching by hand is how many sticks happen.

Will the cleanup team judge me?

No. Crews focus on safety and cleanup, not on why the needles are there. The team asks only what it needs to plan the work, and you decide what else to share.

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.

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.

Does insurance cover needle cleanup?

Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and many do not cover needles on their own. Call your insurance company before work starts, take photos from a safe spot, and keep every receipt. Check your policy rather than assuming.

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.
