Can the cleanup help with a deadline from the city or a landlord?

Often yes. Tell the team about the date on the first call so it can plan the crew and the schedule. A cleanup team cannot decide what a city or landlord requires, but it can work toward it.

What rules apply to waste disposal in Texas?

Worker safety falls under federal rules, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Can I clean up a filthy home myself?

Only if the area is small, the surfaces are hard and nothing hazardous is present, and then with gloves, a mask and open windows. Widespread waste, mold, pests or strong odor call for a crew. Never mix cleaning chemicals.

Does insurance cover squalor cleanup?
