Call us today!

If your business involves cars and trucks in any way, you are probably well aware of grit traps and oil water separators. Whether you’re operating car or truck washes, repair service bays or both, you’ve most likely got traps underneath your facility catching all the suspended solids, paint, engine grease, motor oil and more, in other words, grit trap waste and that drips along with water from the vehicles you’re servicing. When your trap(s) become full, you’ll need to call for a vacuum truck and waste disposal service. Otherwise, you could well have wastewater overflowing into your facility, polluting the water supply in the public sewer system, or worse both!

Overflows are costly to clean up and pollution of our sewer system puts all of us at risk from a health standpoint. In addition, strict environmental regulations impose stiff fines on polluters. Anyway you look at it, it’s best for everybody to have your grit traps pumped clean of wastewater on a regular basis by an experienced liquid waste management company.
