Hazardous Waste Removal for Northwest District and Multnomah County Property Owners
Hazardous waste removal is the process of collecting, sorting, labeling and transporting dangerous materials by the rules that apply to them. It protects people, pets, soil and water from exposure.
If you need chemical and toxic waste cleanup for your home, rental, shop, farm or storage unit in Northwest District or anywhere in Multnomah County, call Northwest District Biohazard Cleanup Help. You get crews in protective gear matched to the substance, and each job stays orderly.
Older housing is common in Portland, around 63% built before 1980, so leftover chemicals turn up when homes are cleared out or sold. Wet weather in Northwest District, about 44 inches of precipitation a year, speeds the rusting of old drums and the spread of leaked product.
The work often covers:
- Absorbent materials and barriers placed to stop a spill from spreading
- Decontamination of tools, gear and surfaces used during the cleanup
- Safe collection of broken lamps, thermometers and other items that contain mercury
- Labeling of containers and records of what was removed and where it was hauled
- Sorting and packing of waste by type so incompatible products never meet
