Homeless encampments can be found all across the Greater Vancouver area. Whether the area is abandoned or being shut down by authorities, someone needs to go in and clean it up. Once the space has been vacated, Local Trauma Clean is here to help. Our homeless camp cleanup team in Vancouver, BC is equipped to handle the cleaning, no matter how big or small the space might be. We provide a variety of services related to outdoor homeless encampments and their cleanup.
Biohazard cleanup
Biohazard cleanup at homeless encampments is the main reason our customers call us. The liability to local city employees cleaning an encampment site can be huge. One stick from a needle, or a splash of bodily fluids, can be deadly. Our team is equipped and highly trained in biohazard remediation, hoarding, and homeless encampment cleanup, making us a top choice for these situations. We remove contaminants such as human waste, blood, needles, and drug paraphernalia.
Outdoor trash cleanup
Removing the trash and waste from homeless camps can be a huge job. Many of our customers contract for weekly or monthly cleanings so encampments never grow too large and become unmanageable.
Discarding a person's only possessions is not to be undertaken lightly. We make every effort to work with our customers to give notice to all of those whose contents we will be removing by posting signs with vacate notices, and we hand over any items of monetary or sentimental value for the owner to claim. Our compassionate team is trained to de-escalate any confrontations that may arise, with respect toward our fellow humans.
Why call a professional
When unhoused individuals evacuate a camp, it is common for many items to be left behind. Sometimes these are harmless pieces of trash or broken items, but there is always the potential presence of biohazardous waste to be concerned about, items like needles, syringes, and other drug paraphernalia, combustible materials like propane tanks, or human and animal waste. The encampment cleanup process can be dangerous if not handled properly, which is why you need a professional company with years of experience containing and disposing of hazardous waste and decontaminating the remaining property as needed. Call Local Trauma Clean to ensure a safe, thorough, and efficient homeless encampment cleanup for everyone.
