What Riverdale Park Property Owners Ask About Sharps Removal

Should I recap or bend a needle?

No. Recapping or bending a used needle is one of the most common ways people get stuck. Leave it where it is and let a cleanup team lift it with a tool and place it in a container.

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.

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.

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 it safe to pick up one needle myself?

Safer options exist. Many cities and health departments have programs for found needles and may give instructions or send someone. If you are unsure, do not touch it. Leaving a needle in place and keeping others away is safer than risking a stick.

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.
