How Needle and Sharps Cleanup Works in Toccoa, GA

A walk around the property shows how large the search is, from one corner of a yard to a whole building.

Sharps are separated from other items so soft goods are not handled until the sweep is done.

3. Seal and label

Sharps are locked in secure containers marked for medical waste.

4. Disposal and report

Containers go to a facility that treats medical waste, and the owner can ask for a record of what was found.
