What Duncannon Property Owners and Families Ask About Paraphernalia Cleanup
Is this the same as meth lab cleanup?
No. Drug paraphernalia cleanup removes used items and cleans surfaces. A site where drugs were made is a different job with its own testing and clearance steps. If you think drugs were made in the home, say so when you call.
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.
What should I do if I find an unknown powder?
Do not touch, sweep or smell it, and do not try to clean it up first. Keep children and pets away. If anyone touched or swallowed it, call Poison Control, or 911 in an emergency. Then call a cleanup team to remove it safely.
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.
Who pays for cleanup at a rental property?
The owner of the property usually pays at first. Lease terms and local law decide who is responsible in the end. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. Keep any record the cleanup team gives you, since a landlord or insurer may ask for it.
Is the home safe to live in afterward?
A careful cleanup removes the items and cleans the surfaces it covers. Testing is a separate step, and rules vary by place. Ask the team what it did and did not check, and ask the local health department what applies where you live.
