What We Do

We operate a variety of trucks to collect and transport your waste to various locations. Waste is processed either through recycling or disposal depending on the type of waste that is collected. We operate on both a scheduled and as required basis throughout Louisiana, Southeast Texas, South Mississippi, and South Alabama. We are a USCG-approved transfer operation capable of removing fluids from docks (waterborne facilities, vessels) within the same operating area.

Non-Hazardous Used Oil and Fuels

Non-hazardous used oil, fuels (gas, diesel, etc.) collected and accepted will be processed into a recycled fuel oil (RFO) to be used as an alternative energy source to new (virgin) products, such as gas, diesel, and natural gas.

Non-Hazardous Wastewater and Process Water

Non-hazardous wastewater and process water collected and accepted directly from the customer or indirectly through the process of used oil extraction will be reused in an energy recovery process or will be chemically and biologically treated for disposal at one of the permitted, audited, and approved disposal facilities.

Non-Hazardous Solid Material

Non-hazardous solid material collected but not suitable for processing will be designated for disposal at one of the permitted, audited, and approved disposal facilities. Non-hazardous empty metal drums will be sent out through a waste-to-energy recovery process for the recovery of metal for introduction into the scrap market.
