Wastewater Disposal for Putnam County Haulers
Putnam County Wastewater Disposal, Eighty Minutes From Palatka
American Bioclean accepts septic, residual and grease trap waste from Putnam County haulers at our DEP-permitted facility in New Smyrna Beach — roughly eighty minutes from Palatka and closer from Crescent City and the south of the county.
Putnam is rural, largely on septic, and a long way from most permitted facilities. The crews working it are used to driving. What they are not used to is arriving somewhere with no queue and no closing time.

What Putnam Crews Bring Us
Septage
Most of the county is on septic, and pumping contractors covering Palatka, Crescent City, Interlachen and the lake communities need a reliable place to take it
Grease Trap Waste
From restaurants in Palatka and along the US-17 corridor
Bore Mud and Drilling Mud
From the utility and pole-setting work that comes with a rural county — with prior approval, and after hours once approved
Residual Wastewater
From the county's small commercial and agricultural operations
Why a Longer Drive Can Be the Shorter Day
Eighty minutes is not nothing. But a Putnam hauler who finishes a route at six and has nowhere open to take the load is looking at either a wasted evening or a truck sitting full overnight. An RFID tag opens our gate 24 hours a day, which means the drive can happen when it suits you, not when an office is open.
At the other end: three lanes, no queue, no paperwork. Wave in, dump, wave out. The ticket is emailed to you at 7:30 PM with weights, gallons and price.
Collection as Well as Disposal
Putnam is one of the five counties where our sister company North East Treatment runs grease trap and used cooking oil collection routes. If you run a restaurant or kitchen in the county and need the trap serviced rather than the waste disposed of, that is who to call.
