Are you using a registered waste carrier?

If you have been given a price to dispose of liquid waste that's "too good to refuse" then it's probably too good to be true.

Whether you are holding waste for the short term (at a music festival), the medium term (at construction site welfare facilities) or the long term (at a camp site or in a septic tank) you know that eventually you have got to get rid of it.

What may be less clear are you obligations to do it correctly.

The Environment Agency (EA) manages legislation in the UK for the recovery and disposal of waste, with the objective of preventing harm to human health and the environment. 

Liquid waste can be particularly damaging because it contaminate land and seep into groundwater. So the EA keeps a sharp lookout for rogue transfer and disposal. Just as with fly-tipping they will look to apprehend the source of the waste as well as the transporters. That means you won't simply wash your hands of the problem if you pass on waste to a 3rd party who then breaks the law.

Fortunately you can rest easy by choosing D-tox Tankers for your liquid waste disposal. Not only do we have a fleet of tankers capable of shifting up 4000 gallons of effluent at a time from your site but we are fully EA compliant.

D-tox has a Waste Transfer Licence/Licence to Discharge and we are EA approved Registered Waste Carriers. We can issue Waste Transfer Notices that prove your compliance with regulations and keep everything above board. You might be pleasantly surprised about the price too.
