Water Recovery

FLEETWASH – An Innovator in Better Cleaning Solutions

FLEETWASH takes the environmental impact of what we do very seriously. Since its inception in 1973, FLEETWASH has been an innovator in the mobile cleaning industry. Back then, FLEETWASH created a unique water retention system utilizing a customized pump and barriers to isolate and collect water runoff during mobile truck washing projects. Water was isolated, collected and hauled off site for proper elimination. We were ahead of our time.

Since then, FLEETWASH continues to test, develop, and improve every aspect of our wash:

• the biodegradable degreasers, detergents;
• the isolation and retention system;
• and the washwater filtration and elimination process
• and NOW or new organic soap options!

FLEETWASH's Patent-Protected Water Recovery System

Our innovation, ingenuity, and dedication to sustainable cleaning have led to the creation of our patent-protected C.A.R.E. Wastewater Recovery system. Every FLEETWASH job utilizes this four step process:

1. Collect
2. Allocate
3. Refine 
4. Eliminate

Every FLEETWASH team member is trained to perform this process using the same exacting standards to ensure effective wash water elimination. While other vehicle and facility cleaners may use similar water collection steps, many companies contract out to third parties to do their work. FLEETWASH is different.

FLEETWASH guarantees that our services are to your satisfaction and wastewater will be handled appropriately in compliance with your Local, State, and Federal regulations – saving you the hassle, worry, and cost of this liability.

Why is a Sustainable Facility Cleaning Important?

Companies are under increased pressure from State, Federal, and Local authorities to comply with regulations concerning sustainable cleaning and washing. Regulations have been put in place to prevent or limit contaminants from entering drains and water systems. Wastewater is an even larger concern when dealing with parking lots, loading docks, and transportation vehicles where oil, grim and corrosive materials can be found in effluent wastewater. In these cases, runoff can affect the surrounding environment and its ecosystem.
