Q&A from T.A.C.T. 48 for Cleaning Up Homeless Encampments


How to Get Help Cleaning Up a
Homeless Encampment
When a homeless encampment impacts your property, you can engage professionals like T.A.C.T. 48 48 to handle the cleanup and safeguard your site. Here’s how it typically works:
1. Reach Out & Get an Assessment
Contact T.A.C.T. 48 48 to report your situation. They’ll perform an inspection of the encampment site, assess hazards like needles, human or animal waste, and debris.
2. Develop a Detailed Action Plan
After assessment, they’ll provide a transparent quote and lay out a cleanup plan—detailing what will be removed, how the site will be secured, and how the biohazards will be handled.
3. Professional Clean‑Up & Biohazard Remediation
Technicians use full personal protective equipment (PPE), secure the site, remove debris, drug paraphernalia, waste, and any hazardous materials. They restore the property so it’s safe for reuse.
4. Leverage Legal/Financial Options
Under Proposition 312 (Arizona), property owners who incur cleanup costs due to local government non‑enforcement of public nuisance laws may be eligible to apply for reimbursement.
5. Finalize & Document Everything
Ensure the cleanup is completed, documented, and you have all records of expenses, remediation efforts, and site condition. These will be important if you plan to seek reimbursement or work with insurance.
Call T.A.C.T. 48 early, let them assess and plan the cleanup, and keep thorough documentation—especially if you intend to seek reimbursement under Prop 312.
