The vacancy rate in Worcester County is only about 6%, so most fentanyl cleanup calls come from occupied homes, rentals, workplaces and vehicles.

What Oxford Property Owners Ask About Fentanyl Cleanup
Is fentanyl a hazardous material?
It is a controlled drug and a health hazard when exposed. How it is labeled depends on the legal setting, but for safety purposes it should be treated with care. Cleanup crews use protective gear and handle waste by the rules that apply.
How long does fentanyl residue stay on surfaces?
Residue can stay until it is cleaned, and no one can tell by looking. That is why a closed area should be left alone until a cleanup team has cleaned it. You can ask the team to explain the methods it uses and how it checks the work.
Can children and pets be near the area?
No. Keep them out until a cleanup team has finished. Children and pets are close to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. If one touches or swallows something unknown, call Poison Control or 911.
How is the waste handled?
Contaminated materials are sealed in labeled containers and hauled away. Rules vary by location, and some waste may need special handling. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end of the job.
Can I clean fentanyl residue myself?
It is not recommended. Sweeping, wiping and vacuuming can lift fine powder into the air. Leave the area, keep people and pets out, and call 911 in an emergency or Poison Control with questions. Then ask a cleanup team about decontamination.
What does fentanyl residue look like?
It can be a fine powder, a faint film or nothing visible at all. Because it is hard to recognize, treat any unknown powder as hazardous. Do not touch or smell it. Leave the area and call 911 or Poison Control.
