Q: What is considered hazardous waste?

• <div><p>Hazardous waste is waste that poses a threat to human or environmental health. This generally refers to waste that is flammable, corrosive, toxic, or reactive. To confirm if the waste you need to remove <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-hazardous-waste.htm">is considered hazardous waste</a>, contact your local hazardous waste facility.</p></div>

Q: What products do I use to clean up lead dust?

• <div><p>You may see specialty products for sale to remove lead dust, such as D-Lead surface wipes. But you do not need to buy a special cleaner just for lead dust. A regular all-purpose cleaner, like 409 or something similar, is sufficient for cleanup. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer's directions when using it and to dilute with water.</p></div>

Q: Are you able to put hazardous waste in a dumpster?

• <div><p>No, you can&rsquo;t place hazardous waste in a dumpster unless you specifically ordered a dumpster for hazardous waste removal. If the dumpster company finds hazardous waste that it didn&rsquo;t approve for dumping, the company will return the waste to you, and you&rsquo;ll likely face a fine for illegal dumping.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to remove old linoleum?

• <div><p>It is safe to remove old linoleum, but it may require the help of a specialist due to the risk of asbestos in the material. Before you cut into linoleum or try to peel it up, have it tested for asbestos. If it tests positive, professionals will need to remove it to prevent the risk of health issues from airborne toxic particles. If it&rsquo;s asbestos-free, DIY removal is possible and safe.</p></div>

"My rock border was full of dirt and weeds. The guys took out the stones, cleaned them off on the driveway, put down new weed guard, then replaced the stones and added more to fill in. It looks like new! They also sawed down a couple of stumps and worked around my existing plants. Pleased with how it turned out!"
