DALLAS (CBS 11 NEWS) - T-shirts, sticks of deodorant, and more.
Dallas County spent more than $234,306 on Ebola clean up.
A big chunk of the expenses came from The Cleaning Guys, the company initially hired to do the hazardous waste clean up and sanitation.
They charged Dallas County more than $216,000 for cleaning and decontaminating Nina Pham's apartment, part of Amber Vinson's apartment, and a vehicle.
Other expenses included:
· Saf-T-Pak infections biological shipping packages - $2,601
· Emergency Management staffing - $4,504
· Ebola fact sheets - $6,949.35
· Catering - $2,000
· Lock for hazardous material transport box - $10.81
· Deodarant for Louis Troh's sons - $12.96
County leaders are hoping to re-coop some of that money through state and federal funding, but nothing has been approved yet.
