What Ottawa Property Owners Ask About Chemical Cleanup

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 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.

How long does chemical cleanup take?

Many jobs take part of a day to a few days. A small spill may be quick. A large release, a soaked site or many unknown containers take longer, and waste pickup can add time. A local team can give a better estimate after seeing the site.

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.

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.

Do OSHA rules apply to chemical cleanup?

OSHA sets safety rules for workers who handle hazardous substances. Professional crews follow those rules and use gear matched to the hazard. Employers have their own duties, which safety staff or an attorney can explain.
