Hazardous Waste Cleanup FAQs for Manistee and Manistee County
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 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.
What should I do first after a chemical spill?
Get everyone away from the area, including pets. Call 911 if anyone is in danger, or Poison Control with exposure questions. Do not touch unknown containers or try to wash a spill away. Then call a cleanup team for next steps.
What is chemical and toxic waste cleanup?
