Garwood Hazmat Cleaning Questions, Answered

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.

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.

Is hazmat cleanup available at night?

Yes. You can call Garwood 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.

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.

Do biohazard crews clean chemical spills?

Some do, but the work is different. Biohazard cleanup deals with blood and germs, while hazmat deals with harmful substances. Ask whether a team has the gear and procedures for the specific material before hiring it.

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.
