Biohazard cleanup in McEwen, Tennessee

Cleanup in McEwen: what shapes the work

Community life in McEwen revolves around large gatherings, churches and the parish school. When cleanup is needed in a church, school or event building, it is arranged with the organization's leaders and timed around services, classes or events, with affected rooms kept closed until they are ready.

Off the highway, Humphreys County is rural, with State Route 231 running north toward Erin. For homes farther out, gates, keys, pets and long driveways are worked out with the family before work starts, especially when relatives are coming from Dickson, Waverly or farther away.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. Inside city limits the McEwen Police Department responds; outside them, the Humphreys County Sheriff's Office.
2. Do not clean anything yet. Wait until the scene is released, and avoid household cleaners on blood or fluids.
3. Close off the area. Shut the door, keep children and pets out, and turn off fans blowing toward the room.
4. Write down the case or report number and the agency name. Your insurer and the property owner may need it.
5. Call us when you are ready. We will explain what is involved before anything is agreed.
