An absorbent mat assembly including a petroleum resistant mat having a bottom panel and a raised perimeter forming a recess. An absorbent pad is placed within the recess and a fluid permeable backflow prevention member and a fluid permeable mesh are placed over the absorbent pad and secured to the mat using a plurality of mesh connectors. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the absorbent pad includes a recyclable, washable and reusable material such as a polypropylene absorbent pad. The mat may be formed of a compound including recycled tires. The backflow prevention member and the mesh may be formed of a solvent or petroleum resistant material such as a high density polyethylene. The absorbent mat assembly may also include a connector strip for connecting two mats together along a marginal edge.
