Questions
What types of liquid waste can your vacuum trucks handle?
Our vacuum trucks manage septic tank contents, grease trap waste, industrial sludge, wastewater, and emergency spills. Capable of handling both hazardous and non-hazardous liquids, our 26,000-litre capacity vehicles serve construction, mining, hospitality, and municipal sectors.
How often should septic tanks be pumped?
For a household of four, septic tanks should be pumped every two years. We recommend regular maintenance to prevent overflow issues and maintain system efficiency, with emergency services available for urgent blockage problems.
What are your portaloo servicing intervals?
Servicing frequency depends on usage: daily for high-traffic sites, weekly for average use, or bi-weekly for low-usage situations. Each service includes waste removal, sanitisation, and replenishment of consumables like toilet paper.
Can industrial bins be collected monthly?
Yes, we offer flexible collection schedules from daily to monthly based on client needs. Our 30 cubic metre bins are designed for heavy industrial use with regular exchange options to maintain worksite efficiency.
What waste materials are prohibited in skip bins?
Skip bins cannot accept asbestos, chemicals, tyres, hot ashes, white goods, or liquid waste. We provide alternative disposal solutions for these materials while offering comprehensive guidance on compliant waste management practices.
Do you service rural properties?
Yes, our on-farm waste solutions include front-lift bins (1.5-4.5m³), skip bins (5-8m³), and hook-lift containers (16-30m³). We deliver to agricultural properties across our service regions with tailored collection schedules.
