The Motueka Transfer Station was cordoned off after staff became unwell following a chemical spill around 10 am this morning.
Fire crew responded in their Hazmat gear and found the suspected chemicals before removing them from the area in a secure container.
The transfer station staff who were earlier feeling unwell were monitored by St John ambulance staff outside the transfer station but were fine.
A staff member at the station confirmed that the cordon has now been lifted and they are once again open for business.
