Why Proper Oily-Water Disposal Matters

Oily water—whether it comes from machining sumps, wash-down operations, or tank cleanouts—can’t be discharged to a drain or separator and “left to settle.” Hydrocarbons float, solids sink, and what’s in between becomes a regulatory and environmental liability. Discharging untreated oily wastewater risks Clean Water Act violations and state penalties.

Even a small surface sheen indicates oil concentrations above typical discharge limits, exposing your business to:
  1. Costly cleanup orders
  2. Potential fines and shutdowns
  3. Reputational damage with customers and local authorities
  4. Accelerated equipment corrosion and downtime
Rogue Waste Recovery removes, transports, and arranges compliant treatment and final disposition of your non-hazardous oily wastewater—so you’re audit-ready and in compliance. We handle non-hazardous oily water streams that can be harmful to the environment if mismanaged but are not designated hazmat under RCRA. We also service used absorbents generated from oil cleanups—such as absorbent pads, oil-dry/kitty litter, and complete spill-kit contents—once they’ve been used. As a local, family-owned team serving Greater Houston, you’ll always speak to an in-house representative during business hours.

The Rogue 3-Step Collection-to-Disposal Process

On-Site Assessment & Vacuum Pickup

A trained technician arrives with a sealed vacuum truck or roll-off, documents the waste stream, and records volume and freeboard. We isolate oils, emulsions, tramp fluids, and sludge from sumps, pits, separators, frac tanks, and drums—without disrupting production. Each load receives a serialized manifest ID for clear cradle-to-grave documentation. Average response from your call to service is typically within 48 hours.

Secure Transport to Our Conroe Facility

Your material is transported in appropriate DOT-rated equipment and never intermingled with incompatible streams. Our fleet is GPS-equipped for internal tracking and safety. You’ll receive pickup paperwork on site and follow-up documentation after processing. (Houston-area customers are serviced from our local team for rapid scheduling and coordination.)

Treatment, Recycling & Certified Disposal

Within controlled treatment environments, oily water is separated and treated to meet disposal specifications. Recovered oil is either recycled or used as approved alternative fuel; de-watered solids go to an appropriate Subtitle D landfill. You receive a signed Certificate of Disposal for each batch.

Recovered oil is blended for re-refining or used as an alternative fuel, while de-watered solids head to an approved Subtitle D landfill. You receive a signed Certificate of Disposal for every batch—proof that your oily wastewater no longer counts toward generator status.

Sustainability & Oil Recycling

Disposal is only half the story. By recovering usable hydrocarbons from your wastewater, Rogue diverts material from incineration and offsets virgin-oil demand. Recovered oils may become:
  • Re-refined base stocks for industrial lubricants
  • Supplemental fuel in cement or asphalt operations
  • Feedstock for designated process heaters

Ask for an annual Environmental Impact Summary to quantify CO₂-equivalent savings that you can share with stakeholders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contaminants can Rogue accept?

 Non-hazardous wastewater containing petroleum hydrocarbons, synthetic oils, tramp coolants, surfactants, light solids, and trace metals. Our services focus on non-hazardous streams—not materials designated as RCRA hazardous waste.

 Yes. We pick up used absorbents—including pads, oil-dry/kitty litter, and complete spill-kit contents—after they’ve been deployed to clean up oil. We collect and manage these non-hazardous oily solids for compliant disposal.

 Yes—250 gallons for vacuum service and one 55-gallon drum for scheduled LTL pickups. Smaller amounts can often be aggregated into a single service call.

 For routine streams (e.g., machining coolants), we may already have profiles on file. New or unusual streams may require a quick lab test to confirm the proper path.

 Rates reflect volume, oil-to-water ratio, and distance. Quotes are single line items covering pickup, treatment, disposal, and documentation—no hidden surcharges.

 You’ll receive a signed Non-Hazardous Manifest at pickup and a digital Certificate of Disposal after processing. While there’s no customer portal, all documentation is delivered directly for your records.
