Medical Waste Disposal Questions From Franklin Heights and Milwaukee County
How much does medical waste removal cost?
The price depends on the amount and type of waste, the number of containers, any spill cleanup, travel and access. A cleanup team can give a price after hearing the details. Ask what is included, such as disinfecting the area and disposal records.
Is this medical advice?
No. This page explains the process of medical waste removal. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For exposure or symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for rules in your area, ask the local health department.
Where can I dispose of biohazard waste?
Options depend on the amount and the place. Some counties and pharmacies have drop-off points for small household sharps. For larger amounts, clinical waste or items from a cleanup, a biohazard pickup service takes the waste to a proper facility. The local health department can describe local programs.
What if I find needles at a vacant property?
Stay back and keep others away. Do not pick up the needles. Note where they are and call a cleanup team or the local health department. A team can sweep the property, collect every sharp and haul the waste away.
Can medical waste go in the regular trash?
Needles and soaked items should not go in household trash. They can injure sanitation workers and spread germs.

A cleanup team can take anything larger or anything from another person's care.
