What Santa Fe Springs Property Owners Ask About Chemical Cleanup
How are chemicals 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 cleanup team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end.
Can chemicals be left in a garage or shed?
Old or leaking products are a risk. Heat, humidity and age can damage containers, and fumes can build up. If containers are leaking, damaged or unlabeled, have a cleanup team remove them.
Do biohazard crews clean chemical spills?
Some do, but the work is different. Biohazard cleanup deals with blood, body fluids and germs, while chemical cleanup deals with harmful substances. Ask whether a team has the gear and procedures for the specific chemical before hiring it.
Why is mixing cleaning products dangerous?
Some products release toxic gas when combined. Bleach and ammonia are a well-known example. Never mix products to clean a spill, and leave the area if you smell fumes.
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.
What if a spill reaches 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.
