Efficient Wastewater Management with the Muckraker System
VibraWaste is built for operators hitting the limits of traditional wastewater disposal. Municipal treatment capacity is tight, disposal rates are up, and land-application permitting is harder under PFAS and regulatory pressure. Operator-owned wastewater processing — a CleanWater Farm around the Muckraker — is how we keep you off someone else's plant.

The Muckraker
The Muckraker: Wastewater Treatment & Screening Systems
The Muckraker is a high-capacity, automated screening system for up to 400 gallons per minute of septage, blackwater, greywater, and industrial wastewater. A vibrating perforated basket and auger compression pull trash and debris larger than 3/16 inch, compact solids for landfill requirements, and return screened liquid to storage or downstream treatment. That screening process replaces manual bar-screen labor on municipal screenings and industrial applications — less water in the trash, faster unloads, more trucks through the pad.

CleanWater Farm
Innovative Screening Solutions for Cleaner Water
On a CleanWater Farm, the Muckraker is the wastewater screening system at the receiving station. Trucks unload faster. You haul less water in the trash and debris. Capacity follows your routes, not municipal schedules. Money is lost every time we have to haul water — dewatering is the point, for industrial, municipal, and private applications.
Streamlining Waste Hauler Operations
Waste hauler operations are why we built this. A CleanWater Farm with the Muckraker gives you wastewater screening equipment at your pad — mechanical screening that beats a bar screen, without the plant-priced receiving station.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Muckraker?
The Muckraker is VibraWaste's high-capacity vibrating perforated-basket screener with integrated auger compression. It processes up to 400 GPM of septage, blackwater, greywater, and industrial wastewater at the receiving station, separating trash and debris larger than 3/16 inch and compacting solids so they can meet landfill paint filter requirements when properly operated.
What is a CleanWater Farm?
CleanWater Farm is VibraWaste's operator-owned wastewater processing concept. With the Muckraker as the core machine, operators control disposal logistics: faster truck unloading, less idle time, and capacity that scales with demand rather than municipal schedules.
Where is VibraWaste located?
VibraWaste is at 4149 Cook Rd #1, Bentonville, AR 72713, in Northwest Arkansas. Office hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM; Saturday and Sunday are closed. Area served includes Bentonville ZIP codes 72713, 72712, and 72716.
Does VibraWaste offer equipment financing?
Yes. VibraWaste partners with DealerDog for Muckraker equipment financing. The application uses a soft credit pull so checking options does not affect your credit score. Contact Jon Jouvenaux, Founder and President, at jon@vibrawaste.com or 479-425-1307.
What kind of power does the Muckraker need?
A single-phase 240V RV plug. Most receiving stations that need electric want three-phase 480V, which is hard to get outside industrial zones. The Muckraker uses a common RV outlet, so operators avoid that install hurdle and the cost of running three-phase.
