Stewartstown Toxic Waste Questions, Answered

Can I clean up a chemical spill myself?

Small spills of familiar household products may be manageable with the label's directions. Unknown, large or hazardous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.

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.

Does a chemical spill have to be reported?

Reporting rules depend on the substance, the amount and where it spilled. The local fire department, the health department or an attorney can say what applies. A cleanup team can explain the work and the records it can provide.

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.

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.

What are the health risks of chemical exposure?

Chemicals can irritate or burn skin and eyes, harm the lungs and poison people who swallow them. Some give off fumes or catch fire. Call 911 in an emergency and Poison Control for exposure questions, and tell them the product name if known.
