What is chemical and toxic waste cleanup?

It is the safe containment, removal and disposal of spilled, leaking or abandoned chemicals. Crews identify the substance and wear suitable protective gear. They contain the spill, clean the area and send waste to a facility that can accept it.

Can a cleanup team help before a property sale or inspection?

Yes. Buyers, lenders and inspectors may ask that chemical waste be removed and documented. The crew removes the waste, cleans the area and supplies a summary of what was done.

Keep people away and call 911 if there is danger. Cleanup teams place barriers and absorbents to stop the spread and remove contaminated soil or materials where needed. Local fire and health officials can say what must be reported.
