Each needle is picked up with a tool and dropped into a rigid, puncture-resistant container, then sealed.

After the last walk-through, the owner can reopen the area to tenants, customers or family.

Yes. Dogs and cats may sniff, chew or step on sharps. Keep pets away from the area until a cleanup team has searched it. If a pet is stuck or swallowed something, call a veterinarian right away.

How much does needle and sharps cleanup cost?
