How Chemical and Toxic Waste Cleanup Works in Colonie, NY

The team checks every room, shelf and corner where containers may be hiding. It counts and photographs what it finds before touching anything.

Gloves, eye protection, respirators and chemical-resistant suits go on as the hazard requires. The work zone is marked and ventilation is managed.

3. Collect and clean

Hazardous material, empty containers and soaked items go into sealed drums or bags. Hard surfaces are cleaned, and porous materials that soaked up the substance are removed.

4. Hand over the records

Waste is hauled and the owner receives a list of what was removed. The team explains what to keep for insurers, buyers or inspectors.
