What Bainbridge Island Property Owners Ask About Biohazard Waste Removal
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.
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.
Can a cleanup team handle waste from a home care patient?
Yes. Used needles, lancets, dressings and disposable supplies from home care can be collected and disposed of. Families often call after a long illness, a hospice stay or a move. You get a team to take care of the waste so family members do not have to.
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.
Does insurance pay for medical waste removal?
Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and some do not. Call your insurance company before work starts, take photos if you can, and keep every receipt. Check your policy rather than assuming it will pay.
Do you remove waste left behind after a death?
A cleanup team can remove medical waste left after a death, such as needles, soaked supplies or contaminated linens. If the death involved a crime or an investigation, work starts only after authorities release the property. Ask about discreet arrival when you call.
