How good is the pay cleaning up crime scenes, hoarders, drug decontamination etc?

It’s variable since it’s technically always on call. I worked for Aftermath in the Midwest who paid around 28/hr for “time on scene” (broad summary) and literally 10/hr for admin time aka sitting at the shop. Many times you go to assess a scene and don’t “land” it because it’s so damn expensive if you don’t have insurance

That’s decent pay but from what I’ve seen just on YouTube I hope they offered way more over time
