Chetek Toxic Waste Questions, Answered

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.

Can a landlord order chemical cleanup after a move-out?

Yes. Many calls come from managers who find drums, jugs or unlabeled containers in a vacated unit. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records.

Why is mixing cleaning products dangerous?

Some products release toxic gas when combined. Bleach and ammonia are a well-known example. Never mix products to clean a spill, and leave the area if you smell fumes.

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.

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 do biological hazards differ from chemical hazards?

Biological hazards come from living things, such as bacteria, viruses and body fluids. Chemical hazards come from substances like solvents, acids, fuels and pesticides. They need different gear, products and disposal, and some jobs involve both.
