Needles, syringes and any other sharps are gathered and sealed as they are found.
After the last walk-through, the owner can reopen the area to tenants, customers or family.
The cost of needle & sharps cleanup in Brigham City, UT depends on the amount of material, how it is packed and how it is hauled.
