What Melissa Property Owners and Families Ask About Paraphernalia Cleanup

How long does cleanup take?

A single room can be cleared quickly, while a house with hidden items, soiled carpet and odor takes longer. The time depends on the amount of material and access. A team can give a realistic idea after hearing the details.

What do cleanup teams do with syringes?

Syringes and other sharps are lifted with tools, placed in rigid puncture-resistant containers and sealed. They are hauled as regulated medical waste to a facility that treats it. In Texas, haulers of other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

What 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 where the needle was found, if you know.

Is the home safe to live in afterward?

A careful cleanup removes the items and cleans the surfaces it covers. Testing is a separate step, and rules vary by place. Ask the team what it did and did not check, and ask the local health department what applies where you live.

Who pays for cleanup at a rental property?

The owner of the property usually pays at first. Lease terms and local law decide who is responsible in the end. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. Keep any record the cleanup team gives you, since a landlord or insurer may ask for it.

Do I need to be there during the work?

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.
