Drug Paraphernalia and Residue Questions From Box Elder and Pennington County

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.

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.

Does the cleanup include odor removal?

It can. Once soiled items are removed, a team can treat lingering odor in the air and on surfaces. Ask what methods the team uses and whether odor treatment is part of the plan or a separate step.

How long does cleanup take?

A single room can be cleared quickly, while a house with hidden items, soiled carpet and odor takes longer. The time depends on the amount of material and access. A team can give a realistic idea after hearing the details.

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.

Can a landlord order paraphernalia cleanup?

Yes. A property owner can call a cleanup team to clear and clean a unit after a tenant leaves. Lease terms and local law decide who pays. Keep photos and records, and ask the team what documentation it can provide.
