Opioid Residue Cleanup for Reston Owners, Landlords and Fleets

With about 39% of Reston households renting, property managers are often the ones who find residue at move-out. Tell responders and doctors where the exposure may have happened. Reston Hospital Center, about 1 miles from Reston, can evaluate people who may have been exposed.
What fentanyl decontamination covers:
- A final walk-through and a record of work for owners, landlords and insurers who ask
- Odor treatment after contaminated materials are removed
- Cleanup after responders finish and the property is released
- Decontamination of vehicle seats, carpets, vents and trunks
- Careful collection of loose powder, pills and visible residue without raising dust

Fentanyl Cleanup Questions From Reston and Fairfax County
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.
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.
Is it safe to reenter after cleanup?
A careful cleanup removes the residue it covers, and a final inspection checks the work. Rules for testing vary by place. Ask the team what was done and what was not checked, and ask the local health department what applies.
Do I need to be at the property?
Often not. In many cases the person who calls does not need to be on site. The team may need access, keys and a point of contact. Ask how that can be arranged, especially if you are out of town or the space is vacant.
What should I do if someone may have been exposed?
Call 911 if the person cannot be woken, is breathing slowly or is very drowsy. For other questions, call Poison Control. Get away from the area and wash skin with soap and water. Tell responders what you found and where, so they can act safely.
