What Burns Property Owners Ask About Chemical Cleanup
Is toxic waste cleanup available at night?
You can reach Burns Biohazard Cleanup Help 24/7, including nights and weekends. A leak does not wait for office hours, and planning can start as soon as you describe the situation.
Can I clean up a chemical spill myself?
Small spills of familiar household products may be manageable with the label's directions. Unknown, large or hazardous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.
What do cleanup teams use on a chemical spill?
It depends on the substance. Teams choose absorbent materials, tools and cleaning products to match it, and they follow the maker's safety data sheet. Household products are not mixed together. Ask what the team plans to use and why.
What chemicals can toxic waste cleanup crews remove?
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.
What if a mercury thermometer or lamp breaks?
Open a window if it is safe, leave the room and keep people and pets away. Do not vacuum or sweep mercury, since that spreads it. Call Poison Control with questions, and call a cleanup team if the spill is large.
How do biological hazards differ from chemical hazards?
Biological hazards come from living things, such as bacteria, viruses and body fluids. Chemical hazards come from substances like solvents, acids, fuels and pesticides. They need different gear, products and disposal, and some jobs involve both.
