Who pays for biohazard cleanup in California?
It depends on the cause and the property. Insurance is the first place to look. Without it, the owner, the estate or the family usually pays, and in a rental the lease and local law decide. Some cleanup teams offer payment plans.
What is biohazard cleanup?

How much does biohazard cleanup cost per hour?
Most cleanup is priced by the job instead of by the hour, because the work depends on the scene. Ask what a quote covers, such as labor, materials, waste and travel. That makes it easier to compare companies.
