The team arrives in an unmarked vehicle, checks in with the owner and secures the area. Suits go on at the edge of the work zone.
Crews in protective suits remove the product and the contaminated materials. Products are never mixed, and tools used on the spill are cleaned or discarded afterward.
Waste is packed and hauled to an approved facility. The owner receives a summary of what was removed, so there is a record for insurers or buyers.
The cost of chemical & toxic waste cleanup in Red Bay, AL depends on the amount of material, how it is packed and how it is hauled.
Protective gear is part of the total. Higher-hazard substances call for more serious equipment, and disposable suits, respirators and tools are used up during the job.
