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.
Yes. Floods and fires can break containers and mix contents. Crews identify what spilled, contain it and remove damaged containers and soaked materials. They also clean the surfaces the release touched.
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.
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.
