The team checks labels, safety data sheets and the history of the site. If the substance is unknown, crews treat it as hazardous until it is identified.

Products are separated by type, such as flammables, corrosives and poisons. Leaking containers are placed in secondary containment right away.

3. Clean up the hazard

Crews in protective suits remove the product and the contaminated materials. Products are never mixed, and tools used on the spill are cleaned or discarded afterward.

Surfaces are cleaned with methods suited to the substance. Waste is labeled, sorted by type and hauled by the rules that apply.

Hazardous Waste Cleanup FAQs for Richmond and Macomb County

What if I found containers I cannot identify?

Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. A cleanup team can identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.

Is chemical waste the same as hazmat?

The terms overlap. Hazmat usually refers to the wider set of hazardous materials, and chemical and toxic waste describes leftover or spilled chemicals. Both call for careful handling. A local team can explain which term fits your situation.

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.

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.

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 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.
