Sharps Cleanup Questions From Cutler Bay and Miami-Dade County
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.
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 children at risk from found needles?
Yes, because children may pick up what they find. Teach children to stay back from any needle and tell an adult. If a child touches or is stuck by a needle, wash the area, get medical care and call Poison Control.
Who removes needles from a property?
A local biohazard cleanup team can search the area and remove needles and other sharps. Some cities and health departments also help with found needles on public land. For a single needle outdoors, the health department is a good first call, and for anything bigger, a cleanup team.
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 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.
