What Happens During a Hazardous Materials Cleanup in West Pittston

1. Walk the site safely

Crews observe from a safe distance and check air and surroundings before entering. They photograph labels and the spread of the release.

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. Decontaminate and document

Tools and surfaces are cleaned or discarded, waste is packed and the owner receives a summary of what was done.
