How Biohazard Cleanup Works in Tennessee
Special waste needs state approval
In Tennessee, special wastes, which can include medical wastes, need a Special Waste Application filed with the Division of Solid Waste Management before disposal. We package and route contaminated material accordingly instead of putting it in household trash.
Release comes from the county
After an unattended death, the county medical examiner and local law enforcement decide when a scene is released, and in Rutherford County that means the Rutherford County medical examiner. We wait for that release, and for the family's go-ahead, before anyone enters.
Rural and shared properties
Farmhouses, rentals and apartments across these counties can leave contamination in subfloors, crawl spaces and shared walls. Tracing where fluids traveled is the part that keeps odor from returning, so we check beneath the visible stain.

When You Need Biohazard Cleanup, and What To Do First
- A death that was found days after it happened
- Blood or fluids after an injury, suicide or assault
- A scene the sheriff or police have released
- Hoarding with waste, animal contamination or pests
- Needles or drug residue in a home or rental
- Odor that lingers after a death in a house or apartment
Stay out of the area, keep children, tenants and pets away, and do not wipe or bag anything. Wait for the county and law enforcement to release the scene, then call (615) 348-0940 and we will take it from there.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
How much work is needed depends on how far the contamination spread and how long it sat. A small hard-surface area can be done in hours. Fluids that soaked carpet, pad, subfloor or drywall mean cutting those materials out.
Many scenes finish in a day or two. Long-unattended deaths and hoarding take longer, and we tell you the plan and expected finish before we begin.
What We Clean and Repair
- Blood and bodily fluid removal
- Odor treatment in air and structure
- Removal of soaked flooring and drywall
- Hoarding cleanout and sanitizing
- Needle and sharps removal
- Repairs once cleaning is complete
