Bergen County has a Relatively High river flood risk rating from FEMA, and floodwater can tip over tanks and drums and carry hazardous materials across a site. Wet weather in East Rutherford, about 46 inches a year, makes fast containment of a release even more important.
A typical hazmat cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of flooded or fire-damaged sites where containers broke and contents are unknown
- Containment of fuel, oil, solvent and chemical spills so they do not reach drains or soil
- Collection of spilled product with absorbents, pads, socks and suitable tools
- Cleaning of pavement, concrete, tile and metal surfaces after a hazardous release
- Cleanup after a vehicle accident, tank failure or equipment leak at a business or farm
How Crews Contain, Remove and Dispose of Hazardous Materials in East Rutherford
2. Stop the spread
Absorbent socks, berms and drain covers keep the material from traveling. Leaking containers go into secondary containment.
3. Collect, clean, treat
Product and contaminated debris come out first. The site and the crew's own equipment are then cleaned with products suited to the material.
4. Clean and haul
Surfaces and equipment are cleaned with methods suited to the material. Waste is labeled, sorted by type and hauled by the rules that apply.

| Small to mid-size spaces | $4,000 - $40,000 |

Questions About Hazardous Materials Cleanup in East Rutherford, NJ
Is hazmat cleanup available at night?
Yes. You can call East Rutherford Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 24/7, including nights and weekends. A release does not wait for office hours, and planning can start as soon as you describe the situation.
What if the spill reached soil or a drain?
Keep people away and call 911 if there is danger. Cleanup teams place barriers and absorbents to stop the spread and remove contaminated soil or materials where needed. Local fire and health officials can say what must be reported.
Do biohazard crews clean chemical spills?
Some do, but the work is different. Biohazard cleanup deals with blood and germs, while hazmat deals with harmful substances. Ask whether a team has the gear and procedures for the specific material before hiring it.
How are hazardous materials disposed of?
Waste is sorted, labeled, packed and hauled by the rules that apply to its type. It does not go in the regular trash or down a drain. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end.
How do I choose a hazmat cleanup company?
Ask what training the crew has, how waste is managed and what records you get. Request references and a clear description of the steps. Then decide whether the company fits your site.
What is the difference between hazmat and biohazard?
Biohazard usually means materials that carry germs, such as blood and body fluids. Hazmat means materials that are dangerous in other ways, such as chemicals, fuels and gases. Some jobs involve both. A local team can explain which applies to your situation.
