A solids collector for collecting solids in waste water that are heavier than water includes a roto-molded plastic container having a cylindrical sidewall and a downwardly sloping bottom. An inlet and outlet are connected to the sidewall substantially above the sloping bottom so that solids that are heavier than water in the waste water coming into the container through the inlet have residence time in the container long enough to gravitationally separate towards the bottom. Waste water depleted of solids that are heavier than water discharge from the container through the outlet. Un colector de sólidos para recolectar sólidos en agua residual que son más pesados que el agua incluye un contenedor de plástico roto-moldeado que tiene una pared lateral cilíndrica y un fondo de inclinación hacia abajo. Una entrada y una salida están conectadas a la pared lateral sustancialmente arriba del fondo de inclinación de modo que los sólidos que son más pesados que el agua en el agua residual que entran al contenedor a través de la entrada tengan un tiempo de residencia del contenedor suficientemente prolongado para separarse gravitacionalmente hacia el fondo. El agua residual agotada de sólidos que son más pesados que el agua se descarga del contenedor a través de la salida.
