Sharps Cleanup Questions From Martinez and Columbia County

Can a landlord order a sharps sweep for a rental?

Will the city remove needles at no charge?

Some cities and counties collect found needles from public land at no charge, and many do not. Availability varies. The local health department or public works office can say what exists where you live, and a cleanup team can help with private property.
