Welcome to our Environmental division

According to state and federal authorities, Americans spill 180 million gallons of used oil each year into our waterways. This is 16 times the amount spilled by the Exxon-Valdez Incident. The law states: ACCIDENTAL OR NOT, under Federal law (the Oil Pollution Act and Clean Water Act), it is illegal to discharge any amount of fuel, oil or other petroleum product, into the drains or waterways of the United States. By law, any oil or fuel spill that leaves a sheen on the roadway or water surface must be reported and cleaned up.

Tow and recovery technicians are and always have been liable by law for the cleanup of all debris and pollutants associated with vehicle(s) they are assigned to remove from an accident scene.
