A self-cleaning mud pit (10) includes a container (18) mounted on a base (12). Supporting brackets (14) and (16) are provided for attachment to hinges (20) and (22) mounted on the side of the container (18). The container (18) is operable to rotate about the hinges (20) and (22) to decant liquid contained therein. An inlet port (36) and an outlet port (38) are disposed on either end of the container (18) with the centers thereof coinciding with the rotational axis of the container (18). Rotation of the container (18) causes liquid to decant through the inlet and outlet ports without displacing the inlet and outlet ports from the rotational centers thereof. Hinged doors (40) and (44) are provided to selectively inhibit flow through the inlet port (36) and the outlet port (38) such that the contents thereof decant over the edge of the container (18).
