- Control of fumes and odors with ventilation and treatment suited to the material
- Labeling of waste and records of what was collected and where it was hauled
- Cleanup after a vehicle accident, tank failure or equipment leak at a business or farm
- Response to abandoned drums and containers found at rentals, lots and storage units

How do I handle hazardous waste safely?

Can a hazmat crew help after a flood or fire?

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.
Who pays for hazmat cleanup in California?
The person or business that caused a release is often responsible, and owners usually carry the cost on their own property. After a vehicle accident, ask whether another party's insurer or a carrier is involved. In a rental, the lease and local law decide.
