We clean by heat extraction and, same as Sears, we dump in the sewer. Homes use the gutter, apartments and commercial complexes it goes down the toilet. John says dry systems have to store and pay for their waste because the chemicals are very close to that of Perk used by dry cleaners and are quite toxic.

Our Portable Cleans Goes Down the Toilet as Everybody Else. But the Truck Mounts have to be Very Careful in Dumping in Sewers as it is Illegal in most Counties here to Dump in Sewers protecting Chesapeake Bay. We Pay a Recycling and PowerWashing Firm called FleetWash located in Anne Arundel County.

Some portions of the listed websites from what I read, to be legal, you have to file a permit, then be instructed where the closest sanitary sewer line is. This is only approved for discharge of your tank, this is valid in all 50 states as we are all part of the Clean Water Act. This is an amazing Law, I never new. The proper way to dispose of wastewater from carpet and upholstery cleaning is to discharge it into the sanitary sewer system. For each site you are working at, inspect the area to find out if there is access to a sanitary sewer. I would bet a dime to everyones penny if someone called around the United States, all of the carpet cleaners what is it 250, 000 + maybe a handful or even under 1000 have applied for this permit in their area. That is alot of chemical daily getting dumped in the streets, and stormwater sewers. The fine is $10,000 per occurence in case anyone is wondering What is the difference between a separate sanitary sewer system and a combined sewer system? Separate sanitary sewer system is designed to carry only wastewater to the treatment plant. Stormwater is carried in a separate storm water system, and is not transported to the treatment plant. In a combined sewer system, both wastewater and stormwater are carried in the same pipe. www.ci.corvallis.or.us/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=455&Itemid=397www.hydramaster.com/inside/articles/article1.aspwww.baneclene.com/articles/dirty-water.html

I checked with John to make sure my memory is correct, and he said yes, they dumped from the van into the gutter outside our house. Probably waste from previous jobs as well as ours. Wow, and that was SEARS carpet cleaning! Would turn them in if it wasn't so long ago and we no longer have proof or witnesses. Almost everyone we knew then have moved out of that neighborhood...........
