What Franklin Property Owners Ask About Biohazard Waste Removal
Who pays for medical waste removal at a rental?
Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible for waste left in a unit. A property owner can still hire a cleanup team to clear the waste first, and keep the record the team gives you.
How long does a pickup take?
A small pickup can be quick, while rooms of mixed waste or a spill cleanup take longer. The time depends on the amount of waste, access to the property and whether surfaces need cleaning. A cleanup team can give a realistic idea once it hears the details.
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.
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 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.
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.
