It is the careful removal and cleaning of fentanyl powder or residue from a home, vehicle or workplace. Cleanup crews wear protective gear, control the air, collect residue without raising dust, clean surfaces and seal waste. A record of the work is usually available at the end of the job.
Contaminated materials are sealed in labeled containers and hauled away. Rules vary by location, and some waste may need special handling. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end of the job.
