Biohazard cleanup in Linden, Tennessee

Cleanup in Linden: what shapes the work

Linden has no police department of its own. The town contracts with the Perry County Sheriff's Office for law enforcement, and emergencies go through 911. Cleanup is arranged after the sheriff's office has released the property.

Perry County's largest employer is NYX, an injection-molding plant, followed by Graham Lumber Company and a Rogers Group sand and gravel operation. The county also has a 50-bed hospital and a nursing home. Plant and workplace incidents are contained and documented for the employer, and homes are handled room by room with the family.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. In Linden the Perry 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.
