It started six years ago with the detection of oil oozing from the ground about 200 yards from a local auto dealership in a residential community. The problem was a leak in the dealership's waste disposal tank. This prompted the Dayton Area Automobile Dealers Association (DAADA) to contact Clark Processing, Inc. - a professional waste management company - to manage its waste disposal problem. This single incident marked the beginning of an environmentally sound program for managing hazardous and non-hazardous wastes by Dayton area dealerships. As an experienced leader in oil recovery, fuels blending and wastewater treatment, Clark collects liquid and solid organic wastes and converts them into usable, energy-efficient, high BTU combustible fuels for energy recovery or incineration. This recycling process reduces a significant amount of waste materials from landfills and provides environmentally sound procedures to recycle waste into fuel products.
