Sterling Hazmat Cleaning Questions, Answered

What if the spill reached soil or a drain?

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.

Can I clean up a hazardous spill myself?

Small spills of familiar products may be manageable by following the label. Large, unknown or dangerous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.

What if I find unlabeled drums on a property?

Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. You can get a cleanup team to identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.

What if a fuel or oil leak happens at my business?

Stop the source only if it is safe, keep people away and call 911 if there is fire risk or danger. A cleanup team contains the leak, removes soaked material and cleans pavement and equipment. It can also provide records for the insurer.

How are hazardous materials disposed of?

Waste is sorted, labeled, packed and hauled by the rules that apply to its type. It does not go in the regular trash or down a drain. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end.

How do I get rid of hazardous materials?

Do not pour them down a drain or put them in the trash. Keep them in their original containers, away from heat and children, and have a cleanup team collect anything leaking or unknown. Waste must go to a facility that can accept it.
