Questions About Drug Residue Cleanup in Downtown, Honolulu, HI

Is drug paraphernalia a biohazard?

It can be. Used syringes and other sharps can carry bloodborne germs, and residue can harm people who touch or swallow it. A cleanup team can look at what is there and explain how it should be handled. Do not touch it until then.

Do I need to be there during the work?

In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask the team how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call. Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle.

How do you clean up drug residue?

Crews wear protective gear, remove sharps and loose items, and then clean hard surfaces with EPA-registered disinfectants. Porous materials such as carpet, padding or upholstery that took in residue may be removed. The team can explain what applies to your space.

Can residue come through skin?

Some residues can harm people who touch them, and you cannot tell by looking which ones. That is why gloves are not a substitute for professional cleanup. If skin touches something unknown, wash with soap and water and call Poison Control.

Does residue remain after the items are removed?

It can. Powders and stains may stay on floors, furniture, bedding and in vents after the items are gone. That is why a team cleans and disinfects the surfaces and removes soft materials that cannot be cleaned. Ask what the plan covers.

How much does drug paraphernalia cleanup cost?

The price depends on the number of rooms and items, how much soft material must go, odor treatment, travel and access. A cleanup team can give a real price after hearing the details and should explain what is included before work begins.
