Hazardous Waste Removal for Monticello and Wayne County Property Owners
A chemical hazard is a substance that can burn, poison, explode or damage health. Chemical cleanup removes that hazard from the place where people live or work, then decontaminates the area.
If harmful chemicals sit in your garage, shed, unit or yard in Monticello, call Monticello Biohazard Cleanup Help. You get a careful team that keeps the site tidy and explains how waste is hauled.
About 58% of homes in Monticello were built before 1980, and older garages and sheds often hold decades of paint, solvents and pesticides. Wet weather in Monticello, about 52 inches of precipitation a year, speeds the rusting of old drums and the spread of leaked product.

- Decontamination of tools, gear and surfaces used during the cleanup

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.

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.
