Before we get there: if it is safe, stop the source, cover or block any storm drain in the flow path, and keep people and vehicles out of the spill. If there is fire, injury or a threat to the public, call 911 first. If product reaches a creek, ditch, storm drain or other water, federal and state reporting may be required — the National Response Center is 1-800-424-8802. Tell us what you are seeing when you call and we will tell you what to do until the crew arrives.

Waste Disposal Coordination

Most spills at industrial and fleet sites are petroleum: a ruptured saddle tank on a tractor-trailer, a fuel island overfill, a hydraulic line that let go on a forklift, a leaking tote on a loading dock, or diesel spread across a parking lot after a crash. Every one of them is a race between the product and the nearest drain. Our job is to win that race, recover what spilled, and leave a surface you can drive, walk and work on again — with the records you need for your file, your insurer or a regulator.

Fuel Spill Cleanup: How We Handle a Fuel or Diesel Spill

1

Contain

Booms, berms and drain covers go down first to stop the spread and keep product out of storm drains, ditches and soil.

2

Recover

Free product is recovered and absorbents are worked through the spill until nothing is left standing on the surface.

3

Clean

Hot water and degreaser lift the oil out of the concrete or asphalt; the wash water is captured instead of rinsed into a drain.

4

Dispose & Document

Waste is containerized and labeled, profiled by licensed partners for your approval, and hauled to a permitted facility under a manifest in your name. You get photos, quantities and copies of every record.

Diesel spill cleanup on concrete is not finished when the puddle is gone. Diesel soaks into the surface, and a slab that has only been covered with absorbent stays slick, keeps smelling and keeps bleeding a sheen every time it rains. That is why we finish every emergency spill response with hot water pressure washing and degreasing and recover the wash water — the same work we do every day on industrial sites, done here to close out the spill properly.

Chemical Spills, Hazmat Cleanup and Hazardous Waste

Not every spill is fuel. When a spill involves a chemical, a mixed or unknown product, or waste that tests hazardous, the response has to match the material. Our crews are trained to 40-hour HAZWOPER and OSHA 10, and we bring in licensed hazardous-materials and waste-transport partners for the parts of the job that require them — so one call covers the whole response, from containment to final disposal. For plants, that makes us one environmental services contractor for both the emergency and the planned work that keeps the next spill small.

  • Waste profiling prepared by licensed partners from the site facts we gather, so the waste goes to the right facility the first time. You review and sign it as the generator.
  • Licensed transport and disposal through permitted partners, to a facility you approve, with the manifest in your name as the generator — that is how the rules work. We never take ownership of your waste, and we make sure you get copies of every manifest.
  • Drums, totes and contaminated absorbents packaged and labeled on site, then hauled away by licensed transport partners.
  • Soil and gravel impacted by the spill excavated when it cannot be cleaned in place, and sent for disposal through the same licensed partners.

If you are looking for hazardous waste disposal in Little Rock or anywhere in central Arkansas after a spill, that is the arrangement: we run the site, licensed partners handle the regulated waste, and your records stay complete.

Highway, Truck Stop and Fleet Spills

Crashes and saddle-tank ruptures do not happen on a schedule, which is why our emergency spill response line never closes — and every hour a lane stays closed costs someone money. We work alongside the towing company, law enforcement and the fire department at the scene, contain and recover the fuel, clean the roadway or lot, and give the trucking company and its insurer the documentation they need to close the claim. Truck stops, fuel islands, fleet yards and fleet wash bays need the same three things: fast containment, a clean surface and a clean paper trail. Equipment that was sprayed or sat in the spill can be degreased afterward with our heavy equipment cleaning service.

Get on Our Priority Response List Before the Next Spill

The fastest emergency spill response is the one that is planned before anything spills. Facilities can register with us in advance: we keep your site profile on file — access and badging, drain locations, water supply, discharge points, the products you store, and who to call — so the crew arrives knowing the site. We can also be listed as your spill-response contractor in your facility’s emergency response or spill prevention plan. If your site needs an SPCC plan prepared or updated, we can connect you with qualified professionals who prepare and certify them in their own name.

Plants that register also get the planned industrial services that keep spills small: secondary containment coatings, floor marking for spill-kit and chemical-storage areas, dock and concrete degreasing, and spill-kit checks during routine visits.

Emergency Spill Response — Questions We Get

How fast can you get to a spill?
Anywhere inside 60 miles of Conway — Little Rock, North Little Rock, Benton, Bryant, Cabot, Searcy, Russellville and the towns between — we are on site within 2 hours, day or night. Everywhere else in Arkansas we respond the same day. Call the 24/7 line at (501) 289-5623 and tell us what spilled, how much and where it is heading.
How much does fuel or diesel spill cleanup cost?
There is no posted rate: emergency response is quoted per job and billed on time and materials, and the invoice itemizes labor, equipment, absorbents and disposal. The biggest cost drivers are how much spilled, the surface it landed on, whether it reached a drain, soil or water, and how much waste has to be disposed of. A small fuel-island spill caught on concrete is a short job; a saddle tank emptied across a lot and into the gravel is a larger one. We give you a clear picture on site before the costly steps begin.
How do you clean up a diesel spill on concrete?
Contain it first, recover the free product, work absorbent through the spill, then degrease the concrete with hot water and capture the wash water. Skipping the hot-water step is why so many slabs stay slick, keep smelling of diesel and bleed a sheen every time it rains.
Can you do oil spill cleanup on asphalt?
Yes, but asphalt needs a lighter touch than concrete. Oil and diesel soften the asphalt binder, so speed matters: we recover the free product and absorb what is left quickly, then clean with hot water at a pressure the surface can take. A patch that has already gone soft may need repair by a paving contractor after the cleanup.
What is the difference between spill cleanup and hazmat cleanup?
Most spill cleanup is petroleum — fuel, diesel, motor oil or hydraulic fluid — on a lot, dock or plant floor. Hazmat cleanup covers chemicals, mixed or unknown products and anything that tests hazardous, and it needs trained crews, the right protective equipment and licensed partners for transport and disposal. One call to our 24/7 line covers either; we match the response to the material.
Do you handle hazardous waste disposal in Little Rock?
Yes, in Little Rock and statewide. Waste is containerized and labeled on site, profiled by licensed partners for your approval, and hauled by permitted transport and disposal partners to a facility you approve. The manifest is in your name as the generator, which is how the regulations work; we never take ownership of your waste, and you get copies of every record.
Do I have to report the spill?
It depends on what spilled, how much, and where it went. A sheen on water, or product in a storm drain, creek or ditch, can trigger federal and state reporting — the National Response Center is 1-800-424-8802. Reporting is the facility’s responsibility. We give you the facts you need to report accurately — what spilled, roughly how much, when it started and where it went.
Can you respond to a truck crash or highway spill?
Yes. We work alongside the towing company, law enforcement and the fire department at the scene, contain and recover the fuel, clean the roadway or shoulder, and provide the trucking company and its insurer with photos, quantities and disposal records for the claim.
Can you be listed as the spill contractor in our emergency plan?
Yes. Register your facility with our Priority Response list and we keep your site profile on file — access, drains, products stored and contacts — so the crew arrives prepared. We can be named as your spill-response contractor in your facility’s emergency response or spill prevention plan.
Do you work nights, weekends and holidays?
Yes. The emergency line is answered 24/7, 365 days a year, and crews respond at night, on weekends and on holidays.
