With about 64% of Sussex households renting, property managers are often the ones who find residue at move-out. If anyone cannot be woken or is breathing slowly, call 911. The nearest emergency room to Sussex is Newton Medical Center in Newton, about 15 miles away.

Fentanyl Residue Questions Answered for Sussex, NJ
What does fentanyl residue look like?
It can be a fine powder, a faint film or nothing visible at all. Because it is hard to recognize, treat any unknown powder as hazardous. Do not touch or smell it. Leave the area and call 911 or Poison Control.
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.
What do police and firefighters do about residue?
Responders deal with the emergency, collect evidence and make the scene safe. They do not usually clean the space afterward. Once the property is released, the owner or family books decontamination.
How is the waste handled?
Contaminated materials are sealed in labeled containers and hauled away. Rules vary by location, and some waste may need special handling. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records 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.
What should I do if someone may have been exposed?
Call 911 if the person cannot be woken, is breathing slowly or is very drowsy. For other questions, call Poison Control. Get away from the area and wash skin with soap and water. Tell responders what you found and where, so they can act safely.
