- Needle, syringe and sharps pickup handled in puncture-proof containers
- Crime scene and trauma scene cleaning once law enforcement releases the property
- Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that fluids have soaked into

What Shady Hollow Residents Ask About Biohazard Cleanup
Is cleaning up a biohazard dangerous without training?
It can be. Bloodborne pathogens, sharps and airborne particles pose real risks, and a mistake can spread contamination through a home. Professional crews use gear, containment and procedures built for the job.
How is biohazard waste disposed of?
Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled as regulated medical waste, not put in household trash. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Ask the cleanup team how its waste is handled.
Does insurance pay for crime scene cleanup?
Frequently. If a policy covers the event, it can pay after the deductible. The Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program, run by the Office of the Attorney General, pays up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016, with insurance used first and claims filed within three years. Questions go to (800) 983-9933.
What is considered a biohazard?
A biohazard is any biological material that can make people sick. Common examples are blood, bodily fluids, human waste, sewage, needles, decomposing remains and some animal waste. If you are unsure, stay out of the area and ask a cleanup team.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets away from the area, and do not touch or wipe anything. Open an exterior window only if it is safe, and photograph what you can for insurance from a distance. Call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
Will the neighbors know about the cleanup?
Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team at the start if discretion matters, and it will plan the work around that.
