Needles, syringes and blades are referred to as sharps. These items can be found in any public place, squats run by drug users, bins, or any vacant empty space. These items are extremely dangerous and highly infectious, carrying potential deadly diseases such as Hepatitis B, C and HIV. Only a High Tiered Waste Licence holder may complete a needle pick up and dispose of this waste correctly and efficiently.
The primary objective of needle sweep cleaning is to ensure the safety of individuals who may come into contact with discarded needles, as they pose a potential risk of injury and transmission of bloodborne diseases. At SFS protect, we pride ourselves on being advanced cleaning specialists and are regularly deployed to complete needle sweep cleaning and other specialist hygiene cleaning across the UK.

The needle pick up process involves the following steps:
Assessment: Before starting the needle sweep cleaning, a thorough assessment of the area is conducted to identify potential hiding places for discarded needles. This includes inspecting common areas such as floors, bins, furniture, crevices, and hidden corners.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Proper personal protective equipment is essential to ensure the safety of our advanced cleaning specialists. This includes gloves, puncture-resistant containers for safe disposal, and additional protective gear. As a specialist deep cleaning company, we ensure our staff’s safety is at the forefront of any operation.
Needle Collection: Using specialised tools like tongs or mechanical grabbers, our team carefully pick up and collect the needles or sharps found in the area. It is crucial to exercise caution to avoid accidental needle-stick injuries.
Safe Disposal: Once the needle pick up has been completed, they must be placed in puncture-resistant containers designed specifically for the safe disposal of medical waste. These containers are properly labeled and comply with local regulations for disposal.
Surface Cleaning: After the needle collection process, the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected using appropriate cleaning agents. This eliminates any remaining contaminants and reduces the risk of infection.
