Hazmat Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Oakland Gardens / Hollis Hills, New York, NY

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.

How long does hazmat cleanup take?

Many jobs take part of a day to a few days. A small spill may be quick. A large release, a soaked site or many unknown containers take longer, and waste pickup can add time. A local team can give a better estimate after seeing the site.

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.

What chemicals are used to clean crime scenes?

Crime scene crews mainly use detergents and EPA-registered disinfectants against germs, not harsh industrial chemicals. Hazmat crews choose products to match the hazardous material instead. Products are never mixed, and labels set the contact time.

What is hazmat equipment cleaning?

It is the decontamination of tools, gear, machinery and vehicles that touched a hazardous material. Items are cleaned with products suited to the material, and those that cannot be made safe are packed for disposal.

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.
