Hazmat Cleanup FAQs for Owego and Tioga County

How do I handle hazardous waste safely?

Wear gloves and eye protection if the label says so, never mix products and keep containers closed. Leave unknown or leaking materials alone and call a professional. A cleanup team can pack and haul the waste lawfully.

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.

Can a hazmat crew help after a flood or fire?
