When containers leak, break or are left behind, Tome property owners call Tome Biohazard Cleanup Help for toxic waste cleanup. You can get emergency response 24/7 across Valencia County and nearby areas.
Tome is fairly dry, at about 9 inches of precipitation a year, so a chemical spill on soil may linger in place until it is removed. Fewer homes in Valencia County sit empty, so chemical calls tend to come from occupied properties with leaking garage or shed containers.
