Needle Pickup and Sharps Containment for Downtown Property Owners

Needle and sharps cleanup is the safe search, collection and disposal of used needles, syringes, lancets and other sharp objects. Cleanup crews use tools instead of bare hands and seal each item in a puncture-resistant container.

When your rental, lot or storefront in Downtown has needles on the ground, call Downtown Biohazard Cleanup Help for a full sweep. Crews work quietly across Orange County and can arrive in an unmarked vehicle if you prefer privacy.

The vacancy rate in Orlando is only about 12%, so most needle calls come from occupied homes, rentals, yards and businesses. After a needle stick, wash with soap and water and get medical care. Ucf Lake Nona Hospital in Orlando is the closest emergency room to Downtown.

Sharps are locked in secure containers marked for medical waste.

4. Return the space

Sharps Cleanup Questions From Downtown and Orange County

Is this medical advice?

No. This page explains how needle and sharps cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For exposure or symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for local programs ask the health department.

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.

What is a sharps container?

It is a rigid, puncture-resistant box with a locking lid, made to hold needles, syringes, lancets and blades. Cleanup teams use them to seal sharps for transport. Containers should not be overfilled or opened again once locked.

Will the city remove needles at no charge?

Some cities and counties collect found needles from public land at no charge, and many do not. Availability varies. The local health department or public works office can say what exists where you live, and a cleanup team can help with private property.

How long does a needle cleanup take?

A small yard or single room can be quick, while a building or large lot takes longer. Clutter, hidden spots and the amount of sharps affect the time. A cleanup team can give a realistic idea once it hears the details.

Can I get a disease from a needle stick?

A used needle can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. The chance of infection from one stick depends on many things, and a doctor can explain what applies. Get medical care promptly after any stick or cut.
