Biohazard cleanup in Charlotte, Tennessee

Cleanup in Charlotte: what shapes the work

The town sits in the hills of the western Highland Rim, about halfway between Dickson and Ashland City where State Routes 48 and 49 meet. When the railroad went through Dickson instead, much of the county's commercial growth followed it, and Charlotte remained a small seat of government surrounded by rural land.

With the courthouse and county offices in town, public buildings are a large part of Charlotte's property mix. Cleanup in a county building goes through the responsible office, and in a building as old as the courthouse, the age of the materials affects what can be cleaned and what has to come out.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. In Charlotte the Dickson County Sheriff's Office responds.
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.
