Containers are sealed, loaded and taken away. They leave the property as one load.
4. Hauling and final check
The crew removes the containers, double-checks the space and answers questions before leaving.

What Savannah Property Owners Ask About Sharps Removal
Can I get a disease from a needle stick?
A used needle can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. The chance of infection from one stick depends on many things, and a doctor can explain what applies. Get medical care promptly after any stick or cut.
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.
Who removes needles from a property?
A local biohazard cleanup team can search the area and remove needles and other sharps. Some cities and health departments also help with found needles on public land. For a single needle outdoors, the health department is a good first call, and for anything bigger, a cleanup team.
Can needles be hidden inside furniture or walls?
They can be tucked into couch cushions, mattress seams, drawers, vents and ceiling tiles. That is why a sharps sweep covers more than the floor. Crews check hidden spots with tools and light before declaring a room clear.
What is a sharps container?
It is a rigid, puncture-resistant box with a locking lid, made to hold needles, syringes, lancets and blades. Cleanup teams use them to seal sharps for transport. Containers should not be overfilled or opened again once locked.
Is a lancet or insulin needle a sharp?
Yes. Insulin pen needles, lancets and similar small devices are sharps, even though they are used for health care. They should go into a rigid container, never loose into trash.
