In publication overflows and leaks of oil products are considered on petrol filling stations. The materials used to collect overflows and leaks of oil products on petrol filling stations are indicated. Disadvantages of sand and properties of silica clay are considered. The petroleum was used for carrying experiments to collecting of oil products by sand and silica clay. The experiments were carried out and the data on changes in the mass of petroleum remaining on the samples (particles of silica clay, particles of sand) from initial mass of the samples (before contact with petroleum) were received. The assumption was made about the possibility of using silica clay instead of sand to collect overflows and leaks of oil products in urban environment.
