Chemical and Toxic Waste Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Co-op City, New York, NY
What if I found containers I cannot identify?
Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. A cleanup team can identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.
How long does chemical cleanup take?
Many jobs take part of a day to a few days. A small spill may be quick. A large release, a soaked site or many unknown containers take longer, and waste pickup can add time. A local team can give a better estimate after seeing the site.
What should I do first after a chemical spill?
Get everyone away from the area, including pets. Call 911 if anyone is in danger, or Poison Control with exposure questions. Do not touch unknown containers or try to wash a spill away. Then call a cleanup team for next steps.
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 if a mercury thermometer or lamp breaks?
Open a window if it is safe, leave the room and keep people and pets away. Do not vacuum or sweep mercury, since that spreads it. Call Poison Control with questions, and call a cleanup team if the spill is large.
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.
