Reliable Oily-Water
Wastewater Disposal Service

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:

  • Costly cleanup orders
  • Potential fines and shutdowns
  • Reputational damage with customers and local authorities
  • 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. (Note: We do not pick up materials classified as RCRA “hazardous waste.” We handle non‑hazardous oily water streams that can be harmful to the environment if mismanaged, but are not designated hazmat.)

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.

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; customers do not have live‑tracking access. You’ll receive pickup paperwork on site and follow‑up documentation after processing.

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.

Rock‑Solid Compliance

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. We do not handle materials classified as RCRA hazardous waste.

Yes. We pick up used absorbents (pads, oil‑dry, kitty litter, etc.) and used spill‑kit contents after they’ve been deployed to clean up oil. We’ll 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. We don’t offer a customer portal; documentation is provided directly after service.
