Hazardous Waste Cleanup FAQs for Forest Glen and Montgomery County
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.
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.
Does insurance cover chemical spills?
It depends on the policy. Some cover sudden spills, and many exclude pollution or long-term leaks. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos from a safe spot and keep every receipt.
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.
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.
