Conveyor apparatus for conveying oil well drill cuttings comprises an elongated two-level structural conveyor support that includes first and second elongated self-supporting structural sections, each section including an upper V-shaped conveyor surface, a lower flat return surface, and side walls, providing an enclosure that prevents spillage. A motor-driven drive roller is carried by one of the self-supporting structural sections while an idler roller spaced from the drive roller is carried by the second structural section. An endless conveyor belt is mounted upon and between the two spaced-apart rollers. The drive roller includes a plurality of radially spaced channels for removing slurried well cuttings, oil, drilling mud and like fluid from the contact area between the drive roller and the belt. Frictional contact between the roller and the belt is thus insured.
