The work often covers:
Crews observe from a safe distance and check air and surroundings before entering. They photograph labels and the spread of the release.
Barriers go up and the spread is stopped. The crew keeps people out and the job as private as the site allows.
Product and contaminated debris come out first. The site and the crew's own equipment are then cleaned with products suited to the material.
Different materials are kept apart so they cannot react. Waste leaves the site by the route and rules that apply to its type.

| Initial cleanup and containment | $6 - $20 per square foot |
