Drug Paraphernalia and Residue Questions From Pottsgrove and Montgomery County

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.

What if children or pets live in the home?

Keep them out of affected rooms until a cleanup team has finished. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. If a child or pet touches or swallows something, call Poison Control or a veterinarian.

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.

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.

Do cleanup teams test for drugs?

Standard paraphernalia cleanup is about removal, cleaning and disinfection. Testing is a separate step, usually tied to a site where drugs were made. Ask the team and the local health department what testing, if any, applies to your property.

What about drug use in a vehicle?

Vehicles can hold syringes, residue and odor in seats, carpets and vents. Ask whether the team cleans vehicles and how soft materials are treated. Crews use the same protective gear and sealed containers as in a building.
