What Lafourche Crossing Property Owners Ask About Sharps Removal

Is this medical advice?
No. This page explains how needle and sharps cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For exposure or symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for local programs ask the health department.
Will the city remove needles at no charge?
Some cities and counties collect found needles from public land at no charge, and many do not. Availability varies. The local health department or public works office can say what exists where you live, and a cleanup team can help with private property.
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.
Can I put needles in the regular trash?
Loose needles should not go in household trash, because they can stab sanitation workers. Rules for small amounts of household sharps vary by city and county. The local health department can say what is allowed, and a cleanup team can take larger amounts.
Who removes needles from a property?
