Can you cite that story?
Not saying you're making it up, but as an employee of the largest haz-waste company in North America, I find that price to be astronomical.
A $30 clean up kit, and a trip to the local household haz-waste collection would of took care of it.
Even if you were crazy enough to hired it out, I don't see it going over a grand. Trans, labor, disposal, etc.
