What is drug paraphernalia removal?
Drug paraphernalia removal is the safe collection and disposal of items used to prepare or consume drugs, such as pipes, foil, spoons, straws, syringes and baggies, along with cleanup of the residue they leave on surrounding surfaces. Technicians use protective equipment and treat residue as potentially fentanyl-positive.
More than a trash pickup
Paraphernalia is not ordinary trash. Glass pipes can break and cut, foil and straws carry residue, and spoons and syringes often have blood on them. Much of the illicit supply now contains fentanyl, so even small amounts of residue should be handled carefully.
We remove paraphernalia from homes, rental units, vehicles, hotel rooms, businesses and outdoor areas. Where items were used, we also clean the surfaces around them, because residue rarely stays on the pipe or foil itself.
Common items we remove
- Glass pipes, stems and bulbs
- Burnt foil, straws and cut pens
- Spoons, bottle caps and cookers
- Syringes, caps and tourniquets
- Small baggies, scales and rolled bills
- Lighters, torches and screens
Why paraphernalia needs careful handling
The items are small, but the risks are real.
Drug residue
Items may carry fentanyl or other residue that is dangerous if inhaled or ingested.
Cuts & needlesticks
Broken glass and hidden syringes can injure the person cleaning up.
Bloodborne pathogens
Spoons, cotton and syringes may carry blood.
Surface contamination
Residue spreads to tables, floors and fabrics around where items were used.
