A typical chemical & toxic waste cleanup job includes:
Everyone leaves the area, and 911 is called if anyone is in danger. Crews check air and surroundings before entering.
Gloves, eye protection, respirators and chemical-resistant suits go on as the hazard requires. The work zone is marked and ventilation is managed.
Containers and contaminated materials come out first. Floors, shelves, walls and equipment are cleaned with products that suit the substance.
Surfaces are cleaned with methods suited to the substance. Waste is labeled, sorted by type and hauled by the rules that apply.

Usually yes. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep the job private. Tell the team at the start if discretion matters, and it will plan around that.
The person or business that caused a spill is often responsible, and owners usually carry the cost on their own property. In a rental, the lease and local law decide. Some teams offer payment plans.
