Hazardous Waste Cleanup FAQs for East Hills and Allegheny County
Do biohazard crews clean chemical spills?

Can a landlord order chemical cleanup after a move-out?
Yes. Many calls come from managers who find drums, jugs or unlabeled containers in a vacated unit. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records.
Who pays for chemical cleanup in Pennsylvania?
The person or business that caused a spill is often responsible, and owners usually carry the cost on their own property. In a rental, the lease and local law decide. Some teams offer payment plans.
