RENO DRAIN OIL SERVICE
11970 I-80 East, Sparks, Nevada, United States

At Reno Drain Oil Service (Commonly referred to as RDO) we are committed to a better environment for our community. RDO has been serving the Northern Nevada and Northern California communities for the past 30 years. In that time RDO has established itself as a leader in the environmental field, consistently introducing new environmental services.  In today’s business environment, it is imperative that managers protect themselves and their companies from current and future liability. Environmental laws and regulations are not static, they change with each passing year. It is critical to ensure that all waste byproducts are managed properly. The associated liability for waste generators is long term. The concept is termed, “Cradle-to-Grave,” and the implication is that the original generator of waste is ultimately responsible for any mismanagement.  By reclaiming marketable materials from your waste, we’re helping your environment in two ways. We minimize the cost of handling your waste and help to keep you in compliance. It’s an approach that’s based in our philosophy of waste reduction first, recycling or reuse second, treatment third, and disposal last. You’re assured of full regulatory compliance throughout the process and your liability is minimized, because we recycle all waste and remove the liability of the waste to the customer.

Mission Statement:

We are committed to providing safe, quality, cost-effective solutions to our customers’ environmental needs in a manner responsible to our customers, our employees and our community. We are committed to doing the project right the first time and maintaining customer retention through performance satisfaction. Our customers are our greatest source of referrals through word of mouth for a job well done.
