The team explains how to avoid sticks, what to do if someone is exposed and who should stay out of the area.

Needles, syringes and any other sharps are gathered and sealed as they are found.
Containers go to a facility that treats medical waste, and the owner can ask for a record of what was found.
The cost of needle & sharps cleanup in Woodville, MS depends on the amount of material, how it is packed and how it is hauled.
Timing can matter. A same-day need near a school or play area may be scheduled differently from a sweep planned for next week.
