Operational waste collection and disposal
We focus on one thing: the non-hazardous operational waste a vessel generates during normal operations. We collect it, transport it, and dispose of it.
Recyclables
Segregated plastics, metals, glass, and cardboard, kept separate and routed to recycling where available.
Maintenance & operational waste
Non-hazardous waste from routine maintenance and operations: dunnage, crates, pallets, worn gear, and similar items.
Transport & disposal
We haul collected waste from the pier to licensed disposal and recycling facilities.
Waste receipts
Every pickup comes with a receipt showing waste category and quantity, ready for the Garbage Record Book.
Scheduled service
Regular pickups for vessels on a set rotation, plus one-time service for single port calls.
OWT currently handles operational (non-hazardous) waste only. Not sure if your waste qualifies? Ask us and we'll tell you.
