Found Needle and Syringe Questions Answered for Cimarron Hills, CO

What should I do 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, or Poison Control with exposure questions. Tell the doctor what happened and where the needle was found, if you know. Do not wait to see whether symptoms appear.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Does insurance cover needle cleanup?

Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and many do not cover needles on their own. Call your insurance company before work starts, take photos from a safe spot, and keep every receipt. Check your policy rather than assuming.
