- Hauling of hazardous waste to a facility that can legally accept it
- Sorting and repacking of damaged, leaking and unlabeled containers by hazard type

2. Gear up and set the zone
Chemical-resistant suits, gloves, eye protection and respirators go on as the hazard requires. The work zone is marked and ventilation is managed.
3. Control the release
Drains are covered where needed and ignition sources are controlled. The crew works from clean areas toward the source and collects the material.
4. Pack, label, haul
Different materials are kept apart so they cannot react. Waste leaves the site by the route and rules that apply to its type.

| Small to mid-size spaces | $4,000 - $40,000 |
| Initial cleanup and containment | $6 - $20 per square foot |

Hazmat Cleanup FAQs for Mancos and Montezuma County
Is hazmat cleanup available at night?
Yes. You can call Mancos Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 24/7, including nights and weekends. A release does not wait for office hours, and planning can start as soon as you describe the situation.
How do I handle hazardous waste safely?
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.
What if the spill reached soil or a drain?
Keep people away and call 911 if there is danger. Cleanup teams place barriers and absorbents to stop the spread and remove contaminated soil or materials where needed. Local fire and health officials can say what must be reported.
What chemicals are used to clean crime scenes?
Crime scene crews mainly use detergents and EPA-registered disinfectants against germs, not harsh industrial chemicals. Hazmat crews choose products to match the hazardous material instead. Products are never mixed, and labels set the contact time.
What is the difference between hazmat and biohazard?
Biohazard usually means materials that carry germs, such as blood and body fluids. Hazmat means materials that are dangerous in other ways, such as chemicals, fuels and gases. Some jobs involve both. A local team can explain which applies to your situation.
Can I clean up a hazardous spill myself?
Small spills of familiar products may be manageable by following the label. Large, unknown or dangerous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.
