Manual Recovery

Manual recovery is the most common method of shoreline cleanup and involves teams of workers using rakes, shovels, and other tools to remove oil and debris. The oiled materials are collected in buckets and drums for transfer to a processing station. Workers may also use suction hoses, pumps, and vacuum trucks to recover spilled oil. While manual cleanup is a slow, painstaking process, it generates less waste than other techniques.
