Dealing With Leaking or Abandoned Chemicals in Rainier, WA

Toxic waste cleanup is the removal of poisonous or harmful materials from a property. These include solvents, pesticides, fuels, mercury and unlabeled products, and each needs its own packing and disposal.

Rainier receives about 51 inches of rain a year, and rain can wash spilled chemicals into yards, ditches and drains. Fewer homes in Thurston County sit empty, so chemical calls tend to come from occupied properties with leaking garage or shed containers.

Chemical and Toxic Waste Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Rainier, WA

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
