Fentanyl Cleanup Questions From St. John and Travis County

Does the Texas victim compensation program cover fentanyl cleanup?

Cleanup after drug activity is generally not part of the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program, which pays up to $2,250 for crime scene cleanup after certain crimes. Ask the Attorney General's office at (800) 983-9933 whether a specific case qualifies.

Why can't I just vacuum or sweep?

Fine powder can rise into the air when it is swept, wiped dry or vacuumed with an ordinary vacuum. Cleanup teams use wet methods and controlled equipment so particles stay down. Agencies such as the CDC advise against disturbing powder.

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 is fentanyl decontamination?

It is the careful removal and cleaning of fentanyl powder or residue from a home, vehicle or workplace. Cleanup crews wear protective gear, control the air, collect residue without raising dust, clean surfaces and seal waste. A record of the work is usually available at the end of the job.

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.

Will the cleanup be private?

Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle and work quietly. If privacy matters, ask about it when you call. The crew asks only what it needs to plan the work, and you decide what else to share.
