Homeless Encampment Cleanup in Sacramento
Homelessness is an awful tragedy, and while great compassion and care are required when working with homeless individuals, the city or township must consider the potential risks posed by a homeless camp. Removing the trash and waste from homeless encampments is often overwhelming for government entities and businesses, as well as a major liability for them. Steri-Clean Sacramento can supply professional technicians, proper equipment and supplies to guarantee the cleanup is efficient, cost-effective, and, most of all, safe.
In August 2018, a 33-year-old female was crushed and killed by heavy machinery used to remove a homeless encampment in Santa Cruz, CA, conducted by city employees. The city employees' union contends that their members were not adequately trained, vaccinated, and provided the right equipment to perform this work. And that's where Steri-Clean Sacramento comes in.

Common Hazards Surrounding Homeless Encampments
Homeless encampments are more often than not venues for serious violent crime, a shelter for drug use, pose a constant threat of fire, and almost always have inadequate ways of disposing of human waste. And all of these pose a health and safety hazard to nearby community homes and businesses.
Concerns related to working around the improper disposal of drug paraphernalia are enormous. Needles have long been a consideration due to blood-borne pathogens, but now there is the deadly fentanyl additive to consider. Used in heroin, marijuana, and other drugs, fentanyl boosts the potency of common illegal drugs. The number of overdoses has grown significantly in the last 20 years, adding yet another layer of danger to both cleanup personal and the community.
Tackling Homeless Encampment Cleanup in Sacramento
When Steri-Clean tackles homeless encampment cleanup in Sacramento, community leaders and local government agencies will both verbally inform the homeless residents that the encampment will be cleaned, as well as post signage with a 72 hour notice of the impending cleanup schedule. All encampments are surveyed and walked to clear the scene for the the safety of the homeless residents and our technicians.
We understand that the contents in encampments may be the only possessions a resident still owns. Therefore, we never lose sight of the human factor and, on occasion, have found sentimental or valuable items. These items will be protected and provided to authorities so they may find their rightful owner.
It's very common to find a wide range of waste such as combustibles, electronics, dead animals, and even abandoned vehicles when people move out of a homeless camp. Bodily fluids, decomposing animals, and other biological waste, medical waste, or drug paraphernalia require special attention. The certified biohazard technicians at Steri-Clean Sacramento are fully capable of providing biohazard cleanup and transportation of contained regulated waste to licensed medical waste disposal entities.
As a standard of practice for cleaning homeless encampments, we always utilize EPA registered hospital-grade disinfectants to all affected areas providing a safe, post-cleanup environment for the community.

The California Law Regulating Trauma Scene Clean Up
In 1998, the California Congress passed the Trauma Scene Waste Act. This law states that only companies licensed by the State of California can legally clean trauma scenes. The law further states that regular cleaning companies, including janitors, maintenance workers or employees cannot clean such scenes. In summary, this law defines how the scenes are to be cleaned as well as how trauma scene waste is handled and disposed of.
