Hydrovac slurry recycling · Toronto

Stone, sand, clay and treated water out.
EcoVac receives hydrovac slurry at our Toronto facility and separates it into stone, sand, clay and water that can be reused rather than landfilled. Approved by Ontario under Environmental Compliance Approval 3168-BH9JQY.

The settled sample
One load in. Four materials out.
Leave a beaker of hydrovac slurry to stand and it sorts itself: water on top, the solids settling below. Our process does the same thing at scale, and pulls each layer out as its own material so it can go back to work.
Layer proportions are illustrative. Composition varies from load to load with the ground it came from.
The video at the top of this page shows hydrovac trucks tipping at EcoVac's receiving bays and the processing line separating slurry into its materials. No narration.
The difference
Every facility takes the water out. We separate everything else too.
Dewatering leaves the solids as one mixed material, which may be reused as dry soil where it qualifies or may still be headed for disposal. Full material recovery separates the same load into stone, sand and clay, each with its own uses, and treats the water for reuse. With Ontario Regulation 406/19 restricting the landfilling of cleaner soil from January 1, 2027, the receiving facility you choose is becoming part of your compliance picture.
How it works
Gate to refill, in five steps
- 01
Arrive
Check in at the gate and our staff direct your driver to an open bay. Our operating and safety procedures are explained before a driver uses the facility for the first time.
- 02
Tip
Back in, raise, tip. Your driver operates the truck under our site procedures while our team handles the receiving side. Four bays keep the queue moving.
- 03
Separate
Slurry runs through screening and washing stages that take out stone, then sand, then fine solids, leaving water behind.
- 04
Recover
Each material is collected as its own stream and managed for reuse. Water is treated on site.
- 05
Refill
Top up with treated water before you leave and head to the next job with a full tank.
Compliance
Approved by Ontario to receive, process and recover
An Environmental Compliance Approval is the Ministry's authorization for a facility like ours to operate. It defines what we can accept and what we have to do with it.
EcoVac's approval covers the receipt of liquid soil from hydro-excavation and its processing into stone, sand, clay and treated water, with conditions on the sampling and analysis of recovered material so it can be reused.

Recovered materials
Four products, available to buyers
Each one is stockpiled on its own. Ask us about availability and documentation.
Recovered sand
Washed and separated from fines. Suited to bedding, backfill, road work and applications that call for a consistent sand.
Sand details
Recovered clay
Fine solids pressed and managed as their own stream, directed to reuse where the requirements are met.
Clay details
Treated water
Separated and treated on site. Reused in the process and available to refill outgoing hydrovac trucks.
Treated water detailsFor your ESG report
Something concrete to report on
Contractors, utilities and owners are increasingly asked what happened to the material that left their sites. Sending loads to a recovery facility gives you an answer.
01
Landfill diversion
Material recovered for reuse instead of landfilled, which you can carry into your own diversion reporting.
02
Water recovery
Water separated and treated for reuse, including the refill that goes back into your own trucks.
03
Shorter hauls
A central Toronto location means less driving than rural receiving sites, which saves drive time and fuel.
