Drug Paraphernalia and Residue Questions From Alexandria and City of Virginia Beach

What should I do if someone is unresponsive?

Call 911 right away. Cleanup can wait. After the emergency is over and the space is released, a cleanup team can handle the items and residue left behind.

Is it okay to throw paraphernalia in the trash?

Loose syringes should never go in household trash, because they can stab sanitation workers. Other items may carry residue. A cleanup team seals and disposes of everything the safe way.

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.

Does insurance cover drug paraphernalia cleanup?

Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and some limit or exclude claims tied to illegal activity. Check your policy, call your insurance company before work starts, take photos if you can, and keep every receipt.

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.

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.
