Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible for waste left in a unit. A property owner can still hire a cleanup team to clear the waste first, and keep the record the team gives you.
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask the team how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call. Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle, so ask if privacy matters.
Companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). You can ask any cleanup team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and request a record of the pickup.

Tell the team what the waste is and where it is, and it will explain the next step.
