Medical Waste Removal Frequently Asked Questions in Juneau city and, AK
Is a bloody bandage a biohazard?
It can be. A bandage soaked or dripping with blood may carry bloodborne pathogens, and handling it carelessly can expose skin or eyes. A lightly stained one is a smaller concern. If you are unsure, use gloves, bag it, and ask a cleanup team or the local health department what to do.
Can medical waste go in the regular trash?
Needles and soaked items should not go in household trash. They can injure sanitation workers and spread germs. Rules for small household amounts of sharps vary by city and county, so the local health department can say what applies. A cleanup team can take anything larger or anything from another person's care.
Where can I dispose of biohazard waste?
Options depend on the amount and the place. Some counties and pharmacies have drop-off points for small household sharps. For larger amounts, clinical waste or items from a cleanup, a biohazard pickup service takes the waste to a proper facility. The local health department can describe local programs.
What about old medicine?
Medicine is usually kept apart from medical waste. A pharmacy, a take-back program or the local health department can say what applies where you live. A cleanup team can tell you whether it takes medicine or only sharps and clinical waste.
What if I find needles at a vacant property?
Stay back and keep others away. Do not pick up the needles. Note where they are and call a cleanup team or the local health department. A team can sweep the property, collect every sharp and haul the waste away.
Is this medical advice?
