Hazmat clean up is not the same as biohazard cleanup. Hazmat deals with chemicals, fuels and gases, while biohazard work deals with blood and germs. Some sites involve both, and crews plan for each.

If fuel, solvent or a chemical release has soaked into pavement, soil or a building in Kensington, you can get it cleared with care. Call Kensington Biohazard Cleanup Help for a tidy site and a clear plan for how waste is hauled in Capitol Planning Region.

Kensington receives about 45 inches of precipitation a year, and rain can wash spilled fuel and chemicals into ditches, drains and yards.

What hazmat cleanup covers:

  • Sorting and repacking of damaged, leaking and unlabeled containers by hazard type

  • Removal of contaminated soil, gravel, flooring and debris from the release area
  • Collection of spilled product with absorbents, pads, socks and suitable tools
