  • Hauling of waste to a facility that can legally accept it
  • Decontamination of tools, gear and surfaces used during the cleanup
  • Labeling of containers and records of what was removed and where it was hauled

What should I do first after a chemical spill?

Get everyone away from the area, including pets. Call 911 if anyone is in danger, or Poison Control with exposure questions. Do not touch unknown containers or try to wash a spill away. Then call a cleanup team for next steps.

How are chemicals disposed of?

Common ones are paints, solvents, fuels, pesticides, pool chemicals, cleaning products, batteries and mercury. Crews also remove unlabeled containers once the contents are identified. Ask the team what it can handle for your site.
