HELP WITH ORPHAN CHEMICAL DRUMS

The EPA is asking citizens to let them remove any chemical containers that have washed up in yards, roads, and fields. The EPA cautions the public to call them immediately, and to leave the containers untouched because these orphan drums and propane tanks could contain hazardous substances. Residents should call (800) 671-6022 to report the location of the container. EPA will retrieve the container, assess it and transfer it to another container if leaking. For more information see the Hurricane Orphan Drum Program.
