Hazardous Materials and Waste Program

In the event of a potential hazardous materials emergency or other life-threatening environmental hazard, residents should call 911. SFDPH should not be contacted directly. SFDPH on-call specialists are only able to respond to emergency requests that originate from the San Francisco Fire Department, the San Francisco Police Department, or other local, state, or federal public safety agencies.

 

The Hazardous Materials and Waste Program is the state designated enforcement program in San Francisco for the Hazardous Materials Unified Program Agency (HMUPA). The Hazardous Materials and Waste Program implements six state environmental mandates and two local mandates. Staff inspect regulated businesses at least once every three years.
