Medical waste removal is the collection, transport and disposal of waste that may carry germs, such as used needles, blood-soaked dressings and clinical supplies. Cleanup crews seal it in labeled containers instead of leaving it in the regular trash.

If you are a landlord or property manager in Colesville or Montgomery County and find soiled medical supplies in a unit, call Colesville Biohazard Cleanup Help. Crews remove the waste, clean the area and can give you the records you or an insurer may ask for.

In Colesville, seniors make up about 27% of residents, so home care supplies, sharps and soiled dressings are common after a long illness. If anyone is stuck by a needle or splashed, the nearest emergency room is Adventist Healthcare White Oak Medical Center in Silver Spring, about 1 miles away. Call 911 if it is an emergency.

Medical Waste Removal Frequently Asked Questions in Colesville, MD

Who pays for medical waste removal at a rental?

Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible for waste left in a unit. A property owner can still hire a cleanup team to clear the waste first, and keep the record the team gives you.

Do I need to be home during the pickup?

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, so ask if privacy matters.

Do I have to sort the waste before the team comes?

No. Leave it as it is and keep people and pets away. Sorting by hand is how many sticks and splashes happen. The cleanup team sorts and packs everything with protective gear and the right containers.

Can I take sharps to a pharmacy or fire station?

Some pharmacies, hospitals and local programs accept small household sharps containers, and some do not. Call ahead and ask. Programs differ by city and county, and the local health department can point to the right place.

Will neighbors know a cleanup team is at my property?

Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle and work quietly. If privacy matters, ask about it when you call. The team asks only what it needs to plan the job, and you decide what else to share.

What are bloodborne pathogens?

They are germs that spread through blood and some other body fluids. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV are examples. Workers who may come into contact with them are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.
