Hazardous Waste Cleanup FAQs for Peninsula and Los Angeles County
How are chemicals disposed of?

What do cleanup teams use on a chemical spill?
It depends on the substance. Teams choose absorbent materials, tools and cleaning products to match it, and they follow the maker's safety data sheet. Household products are not mixed together. Ask what the team plans to use and why.
