You can ask the crew what was taken, and you get any paperwork that helps with insurance or a lease.

Medical Waste Disposal Questions From Lindsay and Tulare County
Is medical waste removal different from biohazard cleanup?
They overlap. Medical waste removal focuses on collecting and disposing of the waste. Biohazard waste cleanup also covers cleaning and disinfecting the area, removing soaked materials and treating odor. Many jobs include both, and a cleanup team can tell you which fits.
What about old medicine?
Medicine is usually kept apart from medical waste. A pharmacy, a take-back program or the local health department can say what applies where you live. A cleanup team can tell you whether it takes medicine or only sharps and clinical waste.
How do you dispose of biohazard waste?
Biohazard waste is sorted, sealed in labeled puncture-resistant containers or bags, hauled to a facility that treats regulated medical waste, and then disposed of. Biohazard disposal companies pack it so nothing leaks, and it never goes in the regular trash. A cleanup team can explain each step of the route.
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.
Who pays for medical waste removal at a rental?
Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible for waste left in a unit. A property owner can still hire a cleanup team to clear the waste first, and keep the record the team gives you.
Does insurance pay for medical waste removal?
Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and some do not. Call your insurance company before work starts, take photos if you can, and keep every receipt. Check your policy rather than assuming it will pay.
