Found Needle and Syringe Questions Answered for Marlene Village, OR

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.

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.

Can a landlord order a sharps sweep for a rental?

Yes. A property owner can call a cleanup team to search a unit or building. Lease terms and local law decide who pays, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. Ask the team for a record of what was found and removed.

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.

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.

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.
