Sharps Cleanup Questions From O'Neill and Holt County

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.

Is it safe to pick up one needle myself?

Safer options exist. Many cities and health departments have programs for found needles and may give instructions or send someone. If you are unsure, do not touch it. Leaving a needle in place and keeping others away is safer than risking a stick.

Do I need to be on site?

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. Many teams can also arrive in an unmarked vehicle, so ask about that if privacy matters to you.

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.

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.

Is this medical advice?

No. This page explains how needle and sharps cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For exposure or symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for local programs ask the health department.
