Found Needle and Syringe Questions Answered for East Rockingham, NC
Do I need to find every needle first?
No. Do not search for them yourself. Tell the team what you have seen and where, and the crew will check the rest of the space in protective gear. Searching by hand is how many sticks happen.
What if I find needles in a vacant building?
Do not go in to look. Report it to the owner, the local health department or a cleanup team. A team can sweep the whole building in protective gear, remove the sharps and give the owner a record of the work.

The crew searches the whole area with protective gear and tools. It collects each sharp into a puncture-resistant container, cleans surfaces where sharps lay, and hauls the sealed containers away. A final walk checks that nothing was missed, and the team can provide a record.
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.
