Wear gloves and eye protection if the label says so, never mix products and keep containers closed. Leave unknown or leaking materials alone and call a professional. A cleanup team can pack and haul the waste lawfully.
How do I choose a hazmat cleanup company?
Ask what training the crew has, how waste is managed and what records you get. Request references and a clear description of the steps. Then decide whether the company fits your site.
