What Fort Drum Property Owners Ask About Chemical Cleanup

How much does chemical waste cleanup cost?

It depends on the substance, the amount, the spread and the disposal fees. Published ranges vary widely. The local team gives a real price after it sees the site or hears the details. Ask what is included and what could change.

Is toxic waste cleanup available at night?
