Hazmat Cleanup FAQs for Carrboro and Orange County
What is hazmat equipment cleaning?
It is the decontamination of tools, gear, machinery and vehicles that touched a hazardous material. Items are cleaned with products suited to the material, and those that cannot be made safe are packed for disposal.

The person or business that caused a release is often responsible, and owners usually carry the cost on their own property. After a vehicle accident, ask whether another party's insurer or a carrier is involved. In a rental, the lease and local law decide.
What if the spill reached soil or a drain?
Keep people away and call 911 if there is danger. Cleanup teams place barriers and absorbents to stop the spread and remove contaminated soil or materials where needed. Local fire and health officials can say what must be reported.
How do I get rid of hazardous materials?
Do not pour them down a drain or put them in the trash. Keep them in their original containers, away from heat and children, and have a cleanup team collect anything leaking or unknown. Waste must go to a facility that can accept it.
Can I clean up a hazardous spill myself?
Small spills of familiar products may be manageable by following the label. Large, unknown or dangerous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.
What is the difference between hazmat and biohazard?
Biohazard usually means materials that carry germs, such as blood and body fluids. Hazmat means materials that are dangerous in other ways, such as chemicals, fuels and gases. Some jobs involve both. A local team can explain which applies to your situation.
