If your Hernando home, small clinic, care home or rental unit has sharps, soaked supplies or other clinical waste, call Hernando Biohazard Cleanup Help to get it collected anywhere in Citrus County. The team wears protective equipment and follows the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.
