Disposal Guides
Soot & Ash Disposal
Ash and soot removed from the diesel particulate filter (DPF) are considered low-level hazardous waste in some states. Check with your local state or environmental agencies before disposal.
Free Soot & Ash Disposal Program
As a customer, you can now ship your ash and soot to FSX and we will recycle it at no charge. FSX has set up complete recycling programs for soot and ash to dispose of to support OEM DPF Remanufacturing contracts.
Primary Filter Disposal
One of the many advantages of the FSX SootSucker is that around 300 DPFs can be cleaned before the primary filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. FSX encourages checking with local waste management for industrial filter cleaning companies that can provide these services.
When primary filters need to be disposed of it is important to follow local environmental regulations.
