Hazardous Waste disposal and Removal

If you’re responsible for the upkeep of a pub, restaurant or hotel, or perhaps a commercial kitchen or food processing plant, then you’ll be reliant upon on a grease trap to prevent fats and grease waste from entering and causing blockages within your drainage system or contaminating your small sewage treatment plant.

Not only can blockages create a problem with hygiene and foul smells, over time they can become toxic. Leftover food which has become deposited in a grease trap can begin to rot, then releasing toxic gasses such as sulphates.

Leachate is a liquid that is produced when water percolates through waste in landfill sites and reacts with decomposing materials. The risks to public health and the environment from the micro-organisms and toxic substances, including ammonia and nitrogen that can be found in leachates, are high. We carry out leachate collections from landfill sites.

Silts and sludges are waste streams that are defined to have a high solid content, which if left over time can cause blockages in drainage systems and storage tanks. Silt and sludge removal can prevent damage to your equipment and maintain the efficiency of any processes. 

Fuel and oil interceptors will usually be found in locations where vehicles or plant may leak fuel and oil onto the ground; such as petrol station forecourts, carparks, garages, distribution depots, factories and car or truck washes. They are a seldom noticed but essential piece of equipment, as they separate oil and fuels from wastewater produced on your site, preventing contamination of the drainage network.

The Environment Agency recommends that interceptors are cleared every six months to avoid blockages and prevent pollution of your drainage systems and the environment around your site. We can carry out regular, hassle-free interceptor emptying services to help you with you this.

Road gullies are designed to handle surface water and to retain debris-usually leaf’s and silts, to prevent them entering the drainage system and causing pipe blockages and flooding.

With the risk of flooding increasing year on year and record levels of rain fall in certain areas, the need for cleaning road gullies has become even more significant and relevant.

Whether as part of an ongoing maintenance plan or a one-off emergency fix, we can supply a gully sucker to attend your site and undertake the cleaning of all gullies, ensuring the removed waste is disposed of correctly meeting legislation.
