San Diego County has a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA, and floodwater can tip over drums and spread chemicals across yards. La Playa is fairly dry, at about 11 inches of precipitation a year, so a chemical spill on soil may linger in place until it is removed.
A typical chemical & toxic waste cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of spills that follow a flood, fire or move-out and leave contents unknown
- Hauling of waste to a facility that can legally accept it
- Containment of leaks and spills so they do not reach drains, soil or other rooms
- Labeling of containers and records of what was removed and where it was hauled
- Identification of unknown liquids, powders and containers using labels and safety data sheets

La Playa Toxic Waste Questions, Answered
How do biological hazards differ from chemical hazards?
Biological hazards come from living things, such as bacteria, viruses and body fluids. Chemical hazards come from substances like solvents, acids, fuels and pesticides. They need different gear, products and disposal, and some jobs involve both.
Is chemical waste the same as hazmat?
The terms overlap. Hazmat usually refers to the wider set of hazardous materials, and chemical and toxic waste describes leftover or spilled chemicals. Both call for careful handling. A local team can explain which term fits your situation.
Will the cleanup be discreet?
Usually yes. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep the job private. Tell the team at the start if discretion matters, and it will plan around that.
What should I do first after a chemical spill?
Get everyone away from the area, including pets. Call 911 if anyone is in danger, or Poison Control with exposure questions. Do not touch unknown containers or try to wash a spill away. Then call a cleanup team for next steps.
Can I clean up a chemical spill myself?
Small spills of familiar household products may be manageable with the label's directions. Unknown, large or hazardous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.
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.
