What needle & sharps cleanup covers:
A walk around the property shows how large the search is, from one corner of a yard to a whole building.

Sharps go into labeled containers without being recapped, bent or picked up by hand.

The cost of needle & sharps cleanup in Mayodan, NC depends on the amount of material, how it is packed and how it is hauled.
