2. Stop the spread

Absorbent socks, berms and drain covers keep the material from traveling. Leaking containers go into secondary containment.

3. Collect, clean, treat

Product and contaminated debris come out first. The site and the crew's own equipment are then cleaned with products suited to the material.

4. Verify and transport

The team inspects the cleaned area and explains the result. Hazardous waste leaves the property in labeled containers for lawful disposal.
