Hazardous material, empty containers and soaked items go into sealed drums or bags. Hard surfaces are cleaned, and porous materials that soaked up the substance are removed.
Waste is packed and hauled to an approved facility. The owner receives a summary of what was removed, so there is a record for insurers or buyers.
