South Palm Beach County and north Broward
Where this service reaches
Call from Boca Raton, from the neighborhoods west of the city, or from Highland Beach, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach or Deerfield Beach, and you can be put in touch with an independent biohazard cleanup company. Parts of Coconut Creek, Parkland and Lighthouse Point are within reach as well.
What "within reach" means
The companies are independent, and each decides which jobs and which streets it takes. In the towns on the edges especially, a company may cover much of the town and not all of it, so the list below is a guide and the phone call is the answer.
It takes a minute to ask. Say the town and the nearest cross street.
Nearby places with their own page

- West Boca33433, 33434, 33496Mostly unincorporated communities with a Boca Raton postal address.
These are the Boca Raton codes where a company is normally available. Even inside them, a company may not take every address or every kind of job, so a call settles it. For Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Deerfield Beach and the Broward towns, give your code when you phone.
Just outside these places?
If you are in Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Lantana or farther west toward State Road 7, phone and ask. Nothing is lost by it, and if no company can come to you, you will know within a few minutes and can look elsewhere.
