Needle Sweep & Sharps Removal
Finding used needles, syringes or other sharps in a home, rental property or public space is dangerous and distressing. Discarded sharps can hide under furniture, in shrubbery, bin stores or stairwells and pose a serious risk of needle-stick injury.
Xradius Environmental provides a professional needle sweep & sharps removal service to make areas safe again. Our trained technicians work quickly and discreetly, following strict safety procedures and UK waste legislation from collection to certified disposal.
Why Professional Needle Sweeps Matter
Sharps may be contaminated with blood-borne pathogens such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV. Regular cleaning methods are not safe for handling or disposing of needles. Our team uses specialist tools (never hands), PPE and UN-approved sharps containers, then decontaminates affected surfaces to remove health risks.
We also understand these incidents are sensitive. Whether it’s a communal area, an end-of-tenancy clean or a public space, we operate with compassion, confidentiality and clear documentation for your records.
Our Needle Sweep Service Includes:
- Systematic search of visible and hidden areas (skirting voids, behind fixtures, shrub borders, bin stores)
- Safe pickup of needles, syringes, blades and other sharps with approved tools & PPE (never by hand)
- Containment in UN-approved, sealed and labelled sharps containers
- Targeted cleaning & sanitisation of affected surfaces
- Legal transport & disposal with hazardous waste consignment notes
- Photo evidence and service report available on request
