Hazmat Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Old West Tampa, Tampa, FL
Who responds to the emergency first?
Fire and emergency crews respond to immediate dangers, so call 911 first. They make the scene safe. Cleanup usually follows once they release the site. You can then get a cleanup team for removal, cleaning and disposal, and learn what records to keep.
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.
Can a hazmat crew help after a flood or fire?
Yes. Floods and fires can break containers and mix contents. Crews identify what spilled, contain it and remove damaged containers and soaked materials. They also clean the surfaces the release touched.
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 if a fuel or oil leak happens at my business?
Stop the source only if it is safe, keep people away and call 911 if there is fire risk or danger. A cleanup team contains the leak, removes soaked material and cleans pavement and equipment. It can also provide records for the insurer.
Will the cleanup be discreet?
Usually yes. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep the job private. Tell the team at the start if discretion matters, and it will plan around that.
