At Minneapolis Biohazard Cleanup, we conduct systematic searches of properties—both public and private—for discarded syringes, lancets, and other sharps. The work begins with a visual inspection of all surfaces, including grass, pavement, garden beds, under bushes, along fence lines, and near dumpsters or alcoves where needles often accumulate. Our technicians wear puncture-resistant gloves and use long-handled grabbers to avoid direct contact. Each sharp is placed into a rigid, puncture-proof container that is sealed and disposed of according to Minnesota Department of Health regulations. Because needles can be hidden in leaf litter, mulch, or cracks in concrete, we also perform a grid search—walking the area in overlapping lanes to ensure no sharps are missed. This is especially important in Minneapolis, where public parks, transit stops, and alleyways may see frequent use or discarding of syringes. After the sweep, we document the removal and provide a written report for property owners, landlords, or facility managers. The goal is not just to clean, but to make the space safe for families, employees, tenants, and visitors. Needle sticks can transmit serious bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, so thoroughness is non-negotiable. We do not rely on magnets or metal detectors—only careful, trained eyes and methodical technique. For properties with recurring issues, we can schedule regular sweeps to maintain safety. ## Areas We Cover in Minneapolis We provide needle safety sweeps across the entire city of Minneapolis, including neighborhoods such as Armatage, Audubon Park, Bancroft, Bde Maka Ska-Isles, Beltrami, and many others. Our team is familiar with local landmarks and gathering spots where sweeps are often requested: near the #FACE building in the North Loop, around the coffee shop known for its $1.99 Americano, outside the barbershop run by Brett Petersen at 225, and in the vicinity of 112 Eatery. Whether you manage a commercial property, own a multi-unit residence, or oversee a public space in any of these areas, we can respond to your location with the proper equipment and training. ## What to Expect When you schedule a needle safety sweep with us, here is what happens: - A technician arrives in a marked vehicle with biohazard supplies and personal protective equipment. - We conduct a walkthrough with you to identify high-risk zones and any known problem spots. - The sweep proceeds systematically: we scan the ground, vegetation, and crevices, picking up each sharp individually. - All collected sharps are placed in a red, labeled biohazard container and transported to an approved disposal facility. - We provide a final report detailing the number of sharps collected and a map of the swept area (if needed). - The entire process is discreet and professional—no loud equipment or disruptive activity. No job is too small or too large. We do not require you to be present during the sweep, but we recommend a brief orientation if the property has unique features. ## Get Your Property Safely Swept Today If you have discovered syringes on your Minneapolis property, or if you want proactive safety before children, pets, or employees use the area, call Minneapolis Biohazard Cleanup.
