4. Pack, label, haul
Different materials are kept apart so they cannot react. Waste leaves the site by the route and rules that apply to its type.

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.

Yes. You can call Palm Heights Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 24/7, including nights and weekends. A release does not wait for office hours, and planning can start as soon as you describe the situation.
Who responds to the emergency first?

How do I choose a hazmat cleanup company?
Ask what training the crew has, how waste is managed and what records you get. Request references and a clear description of the steps. Then decide whether the company fits your site.
What does a hazmat cleaning company do?

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.
