Sheffield Toxic Waste Questions, Answered
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.
What chemicals can toxic waste cleanup crews remove?
Common ones are paints, solvents, fuels, pesticides, pool chemicals, cleaning products, batteries and mercury. Crews also remove unlabeled containers once the contents are identified. Ask the team what it can handle for your site.
Why is mixing cleaning products dangerous?
Some products release toxic gas when combined. Bleach and ammonia are a well-known example. Never mix products to clean a spill, and leave the area if you smell fumes.

Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. A cleanup team can identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.
Can a landlord order chemical cleanup after a move-out?
