Our trained technicians staged two 55-gallon OTS drums with a poly liner inside of each, to hold the collected waste. The crew deployed oil dry into the standing product waste liquid, to cease the spreading and any tracking of waste. The crew patched the damaged drum with plug and dike. Now the hole was covered they could now overpack the damaged drum into a 85-gallon OTS drum, for waste.

applying oil dry to a spill caused by a forklift accident

The crew utilized hard brooms, scrappers, and shovels to work in the oil dry into the spilt product waste liquid, for absorption and solidification. The solidified oil dry was scooped up and put into a designated drum, to be disposed of as waste.

 

PPE used during remediation after forklift accident

Once the crew completed the remediation, they doffed their PPE and placed them into a second waste drum.

Fast Response for Spills Requiring HAZMAT Cleaning

 

HazChem Environmental recently responded to a spill involving an organic peroxide that occurred during transit. Approximately 7.5 gallons of the material were released, impacting both the pallet and the dock floor.  Organic peroxides pose significant fire and explosion hazards due to their inherent instability and reactivity. They can ignite and burn vigorously, and some can explode with heat or pressure. Additionally, they can react violently with other materials, including metals and organic compounds, and are often corrosive and toxic.

Antifreeze is Considered Hazardous When Spilled

 

HazChem Environmental recently responded to a spill involving antifreeze that occurred when a tote tipped over inside a trailer during transport. The incident resulted in approximately 15 to 20 gallons of product being released, contaminating both the interior of the trailer and the surrounding area outside. Antifreeze is considered a hazardous material when spilled, especially in significant quantities or near sensitive areas like storm drains, waterways, or soil. Antifreeze is considered hazardous because it not only poses an environmental hazard to aquatic life near groundwater, rivers, or lakes, but also is a health hazard to humans and can be dangerous. It should not be flushed with water, as it may spread the chemical. Below you will see how to dispose of antifreeze.

HazChem Environmental provides expert spill cleanup services for both hazardous and non-hazardous materials. If you’re dealing with damaged goods or a transport-related spill that poses a health or safety risk, our trained professionals are ready to respond.

How to Dispose of Antifreeze:

 

🛑 DO NOT:

  • Pour antifreeze down a drain or onto soil.
  • Mix with other chemicals.
  • Use a hose to dilute and flush it away.
  • Leave containers uncapped or unlabeled.

✅ SAFE DISPOSAL

  • Store used antifreeze in a sealed, labeled container.
  • Arrange for pickup by HazChem Environmental, or contact us if spilled.
  • Never dump antifreeze in regular trash or municipal drains.

See our process below for an Antifreeze Spill:

 

Antifreeze Spill in trailer during transport

HazChem trained technicians went inside of the trailer and found one poly tote damaged, so the crew bought a new 330-gallon poly tote and drill pump to attach to both.

 

 

used antifreeze disposal

Once the product was at a safe level (20-gallons) they proceeded to transfer the contents as normal.  They raised the damaged tote with a forklift and attached a tote transfer kit to both totes and by gravity feeding the contents into the new, they completed the transfer.

 

absorbent pads for cleaning antifreeze spill

Our crew staged an area on the dock floor, to hold the freight on, without making a new impacted area.  While taking out the pallets, we wiped down the bottoms with absorbent pads before placing them on the staged area.

Once everything was offloaded, the crew deployed oil dry into the standing product waste and worked it in, for absorption.

Additionally, we then deployed ten bags of oil dry into the standing product waste liquid and worked it in with brooms, for absorption and solidification.

 

55 Gallon OTS Drum with oil dry waste for disposal

The HazChem crew staged 55-gallon OTS drums with a poly liner in each and scooped up the impacted oil dry to place it in the drums, to be disposed of as waste.

Industrial Lubricant Spill Clean Up:

 

HazChem Environmental recently responded to an industrial AW-46 lubricant spill caused by shifting freight that punctured a 55-gallon steel drum, contaminating the trailer’s interior and its cargo. While hydraulic oil is not inherently a highly dangerous substance, it can pose certain risks if handled improperly or if exposure is significant. While not flammable in a traditional sense, it can contribute to fire hazards in high-pressure systems near ignition sources and inhalation of oil mist can cause respiratory irritation. Even Non-Hazardous material spills may require remediation services.

HazChem Environmental specializes in both hazardous and non-hazardous spill cleanup response.  Call HazChem Environmental for health and safety concerns for any damaged goods during transport requiring professional clean up. Hiring HazChem ensures compliance with safety regulations. Our Emergency Response Crew is ready to dispatch, and ALWAYS OPEN. We know how to clean up spills safely, even if it is flammable or hazardous. For SUPER-FAST emergency response please contact HazChem Environmental at +13177172229. Our hotline operates 24/7/365.

absorbent pads are used during remediation of spill

The crew arrived and donned Tyvek suits and Nitril gloves to work with AW-46 lubricant.  Initial photos were taken and sent. The crew located the affected trailer and needed to start offloading the freight within, to complete thorough cleaning.  They utilized absorbent pads to wipe down the bottoms of the pallets before they sat them down, so there wouldn’t be any further affected areas.

 

 

55 gallon drum leaking in trailer spill

They found the 55-gallon drum that was leaking, so they covered the hole with duct tape to stop the released while they overpacked it inside of a 85-gallon OTS drum, to be disposed of as waste.

 

oil dry deployed into product waste liquid

Our trained crew deployed more oil dry into the product waste liquid, for absorption.

Once the trailer remediation was finished, we moved to the outside affected area and deployed oil dry into the standing product waste liquid, and worked it in, for absorption.  Our HazChem crew scooped up the impacted oil dry and placed it in poly lined 55-gallon OTS drums, to be disposed of as waste. 

 

waste drums from remediation services

Once our crew completed the remediation, they doffed their PPE and put them in a designated drum, for waste.  This spill generated three waste drums and one overpack; sealed, properly labeled, and kept on-site.  Final photos were taken, and remediation was approved.

Pigment Spill During Transport

HazChem Environmental recently responded to a red pigment spill when a pallet was crushed during shipping.  Pigments can be difficult to clean up due to their ability to stain surfaces and spread easily. Specialized cleanup procedures and equipment may be required to safely manage spills. Even with non-hazardous spills, PPE is often used. Professional spill clean up is just a phone call away and we are open 24/7/365 to respond.

Nonylphenol: Chemical Leak Spill During Transport

HazChem Environmental recently responded to a chemical leak spill of nonylphenol that occurred when screws sticking out of the trailer wall punctured the 275-gallon tote, contaminating the inside of the trailer. This chemical leak required a quick response, and HazChem technicians deployed rapidly. 

NP/NPEs, also known as nonylphenols and nonylphenol ethoxylates, are nonionic surfactants, or detergent-like substances, with uses that lead to widespread release into aquatic environments. NP/NPEs are highly toxic to aquatic life. NPs/NPEs, which are produced in large volumes, are used for industrial processes and in consumer laundry detergents, personal hygiene, automotive, latex paints, and lawn care products, according to the EPA.
