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
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.

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.
Do you pick up used absorbents?
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.
Is there a minimum pickup volume?
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.
Do I need to provide analytical data?
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.
How is pricing calculated?
Rates reflect volume, oil‑to‑water ratio, and distance. Quotes are single line items covering pickup, treatment, disposal, and documentation—no hidden surcharges.
What paperwork do I receive and how?
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.
