Your trusted used oil collector and recycler for over 30 years.

In 1978, Bill Briggs recognized problems created by used oil. He later founded Orrco, pioneering the oil recycling industry with technical skill, resilience, teamwork, and innovation.

Scott Briggs acquired Orrco in 2016. Scott’s engineering experience and background as plant electrician and plant operator, provides him with the ability to transform Orrco for a better, cleaner environment. Still active in his 80’s, Bill continues to contribute as our Expert-Emeritus, advising Orrco and loyal customers on historic petroleum issues.

Orrco has been the Pacific Northwest’s trusted collector and recycler of used oil for over 30 years. We continually adapt to ever-changing regulations, environmental issues, and technological hurdles with innovation and a sense of pride for the work we do for our customers and environment.

Orrco has worked closely with DEQ and EPA developing solutions and regulations resulting in better waste reduction practices– minimizing landfill waste and limiting liability.

Reduced Waste– We treat waste waters contaminated with oils and fuels, maximizing recovery of the oil and fuel and removing the contaminants before discharging. We have the capacity and expertise to treat 5 million gallons of industrial water yearly.

Orrco is a trusted name in the oil recycling industry for many reasons. We’re experienced, innovative, and dedicated to the proper handling of used oil products.

All of our operations follow a structured methodology in accordance with EPA, DEQ, permit and internal requirements.

Orrco excels at continuous quality improvements. These have resulted in Orrco’s ability to perform both conventional oil recycling, de-watering and reformulating AND state-of-the-art refining to produce base oils.

Recycling oil is our business. The demands on our industry are constant and always changing. We vigilantly comply with environmental regulations and standards.

We don’t just comply.

Blanket definitions can wrongly include or exclude acceptable non-hazardous materials. Over the course of 30+ years, we’ve worked with the EPA, state regulators, customers, and environmental stakeholders to help create more informed laws and regulations. When scientifically sound, we defend practical solutions on behalf of our customers.
