With a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA, Los Angeles County can face spills that spread quickly in high water and call for fast containment. Montebello is fairly dry, at about 16 inches of precipitation a year, so a spill on soil can linger in place until it is removed.
The work often covers:
- Cleaning of pavement, concrete, tile and metal surfaces after a hazardous release
- Hauling of hazardous waste to a facility that can legally accept it
- Cleanup of flooded or fire-damaged sites where containers broke and contents are unknown
- Collection of spilled product with absorbents, pads, socks and suitable tools
- Identification of unknown materials using labels, placards and safety data sheets

3. Clean the damage
Stained concrete, soaked soil and contaminated surfaces are cleaned or removed. Tools are decontaminated or disposed of after use.
4. Hand over the records
Waste is hauled and the owner gets a list of what was removed. The crew explains what to keep for the file.

Montebello Hazmat Cleaning Questions, Answered
What if a fuel or oil leak happens at my business?
Stop the source only if it is safe, keep people away and call 911 if there is fire risk or danger. A cleanup team contains the leak, removes soaked material and cleans pavement and equipment. It can also provide records for the insurer.
Can a landlord order hazmat cleanup after a move-out?
Yes. Many calls come from managers who find chemicals or leaking containers in a vacated unit. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records.
How are hazardous materials 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 team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end.
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.
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.
How long does hazmat cleanup take?
Many jobs take part of a day to a few days. A small spill may be quick. A large release, a soaked site or many unknown containers take longer, and waste pickup can add time. A local team can give a better estimate after seeing the site.
