Hazmat Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Searsport, ME
What if I find unlabeled drums on a property?
Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. You can get a cleanup team to identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.
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.
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.
What does a hazmat cleaning company do?
A hazmat cleaning company contains and removes hazardous materials, cleans the affected area and equipment, and hauls the waste by the rules that apply. It usually arrives after emergency responders make the scene safe. Ask the team what it covers on your site.
Does insurance cover hazmat cleanup?
It depends on the policy. Some cover sudden spills, and many exclude pollution or long-term leaks. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos from a safe spot and keep every receipt.
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.
