Medical Waste Disposal Questions From Albertville and Wright County
Can medical waste go in the regular trash?
Needles and soaked items should not go in household trash. They can injure sanitation workers and spread germs. Rules for small household amounts of sharps vary by city and county, so the local health department can say what applies. A cleanup team can take anything larger or anything from another person's care.
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.
What if I find needles at a vacant property?
Stay back and keep others away. Do not pick up the needles. Note where they are and call a cleanup team or the local health department. A team can sweep the property, collect every sharp and haul the waste away.
Can a cleanup team handle waste from a home care patient?
Yes. Used needles, lancets, dressings and disposable supplies from home care can be collected and disposed of. Families often call after a long illness, a hospice stay or a move. You get a team to take care of the waste so family members do not have to.
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.
What counts as medical waste?
Medical waste is waste that may carry germs. Examples include used needles and syringes, dressings soaked with blood or bodily fluids, and clinical waste from a practice or lab. A cleanup team can look at what you have and explain how each item is handled. You do not need to sort it first.
