Help First, Business Second

Homeless Encampment Cleanup in Winston-Salem and the Piedmont Triad

When these areas are vacated, they’re often left in an unsafe state, containing biohazards, sharp objects, and waste. We’ve seen the worst of it, and we know how to handle it.

We take care of cleanup for residential and commercial properties. We collaborate with law enforcement, local government, and property owners to expedite and thoroughly clean up these areas. Whether it’s a single tent or an entire structure, we’ve done it.

You can expect:

  • A thoroughly disinfected and safe environment when we’re finished.
  • Privacy is a priority throughout—our vehicles are unmarked, and we communicate discreetly.
  • Support working with your insurance, if it applies.

It’s not easy work, but we show up with compassion and get the job done right.

You called the right team for the job

This type of cleanup isn’t just about removing trash—it’s about protecting the public and restoring safety. There are needles, waste, and contamination that most people don’t realize they’re walking past.

We’re a biohazard cleanup company known for doing the work the right way—with training, professionalism, and compassion.

Once officials give the all-clear, we go in quietly and take care of it. We’ve cleaned out areas under bridges, near businesses, even tucked away in the woods.

When we’re done, you’ll see:

  • No trash left behind.
  • No biohazards are still present.
  • No evidence that an encampment was ever there.

We’re OSHA-compliant and certified for this kind of work. Not everyone is built for it, but we are.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does Bio-One do during a homeless encampment cleanup?
    We remove needles, waste, and any biohazardous debris, then disinfect the entire area to ensure it’s safe for use again.
    What kinds of hazards are common in homeless encampments?
    We see needles, feces, urine, vomit, blood, pests, and trash—things that can make the area dangerous to be around.
    Where are homeless encampments typically found?
    We’ve cleaned out wooded areas, abandoned buildings, alleys, and spots under bridges. Wherever it is, we’ve probably been there.
