Drug Paraphernalia and Residue Questions From Glassport and Allegheny County

Is it okay to throw paraphernalia in the trash?

Loose syringes should never go in household trash, because they can stab sanitation workers. Other items may carry residue. A cleanup team seals and disposes of everything the safe way.

Do I need to be there during the work?

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.

What should I do if someone is unresponsive?

Call 911 right away. Cleanup can wait. After the emergency is over and the space is released, a cleanup team can handle the items and residue left behind.

What about drug use in a vehicle?

Vehicles can hold syringes, residue and odor in seats, carpets and vents. Ask whether the team cleans vehicles and how soft materials are treated. Crews use the same protective gear and sealed containers as in a building.

Does the cleanup include odor removal?

It can. Once soiled items are removed, a team can treat lingering odor in the air and on surfaces. Ask what methods the team uses and whether odor treatment is part of the plan or a separate step.

Is the home safe to live in afterward?

A careful cleanup removes the items and cleans the surfaces it covers. Testing is a separate step, and rules vary by place. Ask the team what it did and did not check, and ask the local health department what applies where you live.
