Drug Paraphernalia Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Westminster, SC

What 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. Poison Control can answer exposure questions. Tell the doctor what happened and where the needle was found, if you know.

What should I do if I find an unknown powder?

Do not touch, sweep or smell it, and do not try to clean it up first. Keep children and pets away. If anyone touched or swallowed it, call Poison Control, or 911 in an emergency. Then call a cleanup team to remove it safely.

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.

Is this medical or legal advice?

No. This page explains how drug paraphernalia cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for legal questions, ask an attorney.

Can I clean up after a family member myself?

It is safer not to. You often cannot tell what an item or residue is, and hidden sharps are a risk. Do not mix cleaning products. A cleanup team has the protective gear and containers to do it safely, without judgment.

Is this the same as meth lab cleanup?

No. Drug paraphernalia cleanup removes used items and cleans surfaces. A site where drugs were made is a different job with its own testing and clearance steps. If you think drugs were made in the home, say so when you call.
