A portable, disposable device for the collection and bacteriological decomposition of liquid hydrocarbons including a pillow containing at least one member of the group consisting of (i) kenaf fibers/particles and (ii) a mixture of (a) natural, synthetic and/or oleophilic fibers/particles and (b)(i) one or more species of fungi selected from the group consisting of chaetonium indicum, chaetonium funicola, geotrichum candidum, macrophomina phaseolina, and trichoderma harziamum, and/or (b)(ii) one or more species of bacteria selected from the group consisting of bacillus subtillis, bacillus cereus sub group A and paenibacillus validus. The pillow may be quilted or otherwise constructed to define a plurality of chambers each containing the kenaf fibers/particles and/or the mixture of fibers/particles, fungi and/or bacteria. The device may further include a liquid impermeable pillow housing defining an opening to allow the liquid hydrocarbon to come into contact with the pillow. The pillow may define inter- connected channels for directing the flow of liquid hydrocarbons away from a contact point to evenly distribute the liquid hydrocarbons throughout the pillow. The upper and lower surfaces of the absorbent pillow may be constructed of different density fabric(s) and the pillow may define a sealed deflection area to further enhance the distribution of the liquid hydrocarbon throughout the pillow. A method of using the device includes the steps of: obtaining the device; placing the device proximate to a source of the liquid hydrocarbon and bringing the liquid hydrocarbon into contact with the device.
