Woods of St. Thomas Hazmat Cleaning Questions, Answered

Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. You can get a cleanup team to identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.
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.
