Our Clients Feedback
Rubber Berm Trap Cleaning: FAQs
How often does a rubber berm trap actually need to be cleaned?
The widely cited industry benchmark is roughly every 80,000 rounds per lane, though busier ranges will hit that mark faster. Waiting too long increases the odds of a bullet striking one already embedded in the rubber, which raises both ricochet risk and airborne lead exposure.
Will cleaning shut our range down for days?
Not with RES. A full trap clean can take a specialized crew the better part of a week using traditional methods, since the process involves removing the top 8-12 inches of rubber and separating out the embedded lead. RES mines the berm overnight instead, so lanes are back open before your next business day.
Is a dirty rubber berm actually a fire risk?
Yes. Unused gunpowder residue and rubber fragments both burn, and the more lead and debris that builds up in a trap, the more fuel is sitting there. Regular mining and cleaning removes that material before it becomes a hazard, which is also why most manufacturers treat cleaning as a maintenance requirement rather than an optional upgrade.
Does the recovered lead offset what cleaning costs?
Yes — payouts are tied to London Metals Exchange pricing, so what you recover moves with the market instead of a flat rate. And when your berm is genuinely full, RES's basic cleaning is free, since the lead reclaimed from that job covers it.
What does the actual cleaning process look like?
Trained crews mine the top layer of rubber, separate out the embedded lead and fragments, and return the cleaned rubber media to the trap. It requires PPE and experience — an untrained employee mining a berm without the right equipment is an OSHA exposure risk waiting to happen, not a DIY weekend project.
What happens to the lead and waste once it's removed?
RES handles it end-to-end. The recovered lead goes through our metals recycling process for payout, and any hazardous waste generated during the clean — contaminated debris, filters, PPE — gets disposed of through our compliance process, so you're not coordinating multiple vendors for one job.
