A transportable drilling fluid cleaning system for removing solids from drilling fluid at a drill site comprises a platform for transporting the cleaning system to a drill site. A bin region on the platform retains solids from the drilling fluid. A settling tank on the platform has an inlet chamber to receive drilling fluid and at least one other chamber. The settling tank acts to separate the drilling fluids into an upper fluid fraction having a reduced concentration of solids and a lower solids fraction having a higher concentration of solids as the drilling fluid flows from the inlet chamber to at least one other chamber. There is a stand on the platform to support at least one centrifuge for separating the solids from the drilling fluid. The stand is movable between a stored position during transport of the platform and an operating position. A flocculent source can be provided on the platform for adding a, flocculating agent to the drilling fluid to promote removal of solids from the drilling fluid. The drilling fluid cleaning system provides a self contained unit that is easily transportable on a flat bed truck to a drill site to provide all the ancillary equipment necessary for solids control at the drill site.
