and the remaining drill cuttings are moved to a discharge chute that moves the remaining drill cuttings to a collection area a vacuum conduit 72 is positioned within the collection area and in one embodiment is positioned in or near the low point of the collection area the vacuum conduit 72 also extends to and is connected to at least one container 85 a the container 85 a is further connected to a vacuum pump conduit 95 that is connected to a vacuum pump 100 the vacuum pump 100 creates suction within the container 85 a and therefore within the vacuum conduit 72 which results in the remaining drill cuttings being transferred to the container 85 a through the vacuum conduit 72 an exemplary vacuum pump 100 includes a triton 1500 electric vacuum pump skid the container 85 a is an enclosed container and is capable of withstanding suction pressure created by the vacuum pump 100 and is commonly referred to as a vacuum container by those skilled in the art in one embodiment the vacuum conduit 72 may extend to a manifold 75 wherein one or more secondary vacuum conduits 80 a 80 b may extend to one or more containers 85 a 85 b in fig1 only two secondary vacuum conduits 80 a 80 b and containers 85 a 85 b are shown but it is contemplated that any number of secondary vacuum conduits and containers could be used the manifold 75 may allow the one or multiple containers 85 a 85 b to be filled with drill cuttings at a given time by adjusting the position of.
