Medical Waste Removal Frequently Asked Questions in Florence, KY
What should I do if someone is stuck by a needle?
Wash the area with soap and water and get medical care right away. Call 911 in an emergency. Poison Control can answer exposure questions. Tell the doctor what happened and, if you can, where the needle was found.
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.

They are germs that spread through blood and some other body fluids. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV are examples. Workers who may come into contact with them are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.
How much does medical waste removal cost?
The price depends on the amount and type of waste, the number of containers, any spill cleanup, travel and access. A cleanup team can give a price after hearing the details. Ask what is included, such as disinfecting the area and disposal records.
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.
Do I have to sort the waste before the team comes?
