Is a professional cleanup safer than handling an encampment site myself?

Professional assessment is the safer choice when bodily fluids, sharps, or other suspected biohazards may be present. Avoid touching or moving materials, keep others away from the affected area when possible, and contact trained cleanup professionals for guidance.

What should I do before the cleanup team arrives?

Share the location, known hazards, and any access details when you call. Do not sort or discard suspected hazardous materials, and follow any immediate safety guidance provided by the team.

Can the cleanup address sharps and contaminated materials?

The team can assess reported sharps and potentially contaminated materials as part of the site-specific scope. The exact work depends on what is present and accessible, so describe your observations without handling the items.

How much does encampment cleanup cost, and can insurance help?

Cost depends on the affected area, materials, access, and required cleanup steps. Code Three Trauma Clean can assist with insurance claims and documentation for homeowners, business policies, or liability coverage when applicable, but coverage is determined by the insurer.
