A vacuum clean-out system including a separator chamber and associated collection chamber for removing liquid material and debris from a vacuum output and providing a vacuum return line free of contaminants. A vacuum exhaust line is coupled to a cyclonic separator chamber that induces a circular rotation within the incoming vacuum stream, causing the liquid and debris to fall to the botto while the "clean" vacuum is drawn upwards into a return line. The collection chamber is at the same negative pressure as the separator chamber so that accumulating liquid and debris easily drains into the collection chamber. A sensor associated with the collection chamber determines when the collection chamber is full. At that point, the separator chamber is isolated from the collection chamber, the collection chamber is vented and the accumulated material is discharged and/or analyzed. The separator chamber can continue the vacuum clean-out process uninterrupted.
