Our Commitment to Environmental Compliance

In today's business climate, with so many changes in environmental laws, it's wise to regularly audit the recycler you choose for your company. We encourage this practice and invite your questions and inquiries. We're proud of our safety & environmental record. As the petroleum recycler for a number of Fortune 500 companies and regional municipalities, we're recognized for unique expertise and responsible operations.

We Are Proud of Our Safety & Environmental Record

An approved "Off-Specification Fuel Burner", Oil Re-Refining Company uses no natural gas or virgin fuels for power. We convert wastes into energy to run our plants. The most aggressive waste reduction practices in our industry minimizes land-filling wastes and limits liability.

We treat wastewaters contaminated with oils & fuels, we remove and remove 99% of the contaminants before discharging treated waters to the city sewer under a Continuous Discharge Permit. With capacity and expertise to treat 5 million gallons of industrial water yearly, we've won five recent Awards For Excellence from the City of Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services. All of our facilities are fully insured (including pollution protection insurance) and operate under an Oregon Dept. of Environmental Quality endorsed Facility Management Plan.

Our Compliance Manual is a direct response to many of the most commonly asked questions raised by our environmental managers and customers that audit our facilities. It is designed to be a ready reference for your convenience. Should you need more detailed information, please do not hesitate to contact our compliance department to obtain that service.
