Managing the safe and efficient disposal of industrial liquid waste is a necessary and important task. Often, this involves hiring a vacuum truck service to collect, transport and dispose of waste in line with government recommendations.
Who you select for your waste management service can dictate how effective and environmentally safe your waste disposal is. Let’s take a more indepth look at how to choose vacuum truck services for your industrial liquid waste.
Understanding the Importance of Vacuum Truck Services
Industrial liquid waste comes in many forms, including sludges, fats, grease and other materials that require handling from specialised services. These services use powerful vacuum trucks equipped with large storage tanks to remove and dispose of the waste.
What to expect from vacuum truck services
Here are the key factors to consider when selecting vacuum truck services in Perth.
Efficient Waste Removal
Your waste removal service should be equipped with a fleet of vacuum trucks that can remove and transport large volumes of liquid waste quickly and efficiently. This is particularly important for industries with regular high waste output, such as manufacturing and agriculture, or any industry using parts washers.
Ensure that the company offers a flexible and customised service, and can be called on should an emergency arise.
Safety and Compliance
Hiring a professional vacuum truck service guarantees your liquid waste is managed in compliance with local regulations and follows government environmental guidelines for waste disposal. These guidelines may include recycling or treating waste before disposal.
Versatility and Experience
Vac trucks should be equipped to manage a variety of waste types. All vacuum truck operators must be fully trained and certified to handle waste materials, including hazardous waste.
Vacuum truck services should also be equipped to access industrial and commercial buildings that have limited space or manoeuvrability. This typically involves using a length of industrial-strength hose that can safely transport the waste back to the truck.
Hiring a Vacuum Truck Service
If your business requires a vacuum truck service, here’s a quick insight into the process from start to finish.
1. Initial Consultation
Start with a consultation to discuss your waste management needs. This will allow the service provider to understand your requirements and offer a tailored solution.
2. Site Assessment
Your service provider will conduct a site assessment to determine the best approach for waste removal. This may include assessing access points for the vacuum truck and determining the volume of liquid waste to be handled.
3. Quotation and Schedule
After the site assessment, the provider will give you an itemised quote and create a waste management schedule.
4. Service Execution
On the scheduled date, the vacuum truck will arrive at your site to perform the waste removal. The service will be carried out efficiently, with minimal disruption to your operations.
5. Post-Service Follow-Up
Your service provider will follow up after the job is completed to ensure you’re satisfied with the service. This is also an opportunity to discuss any further waste management needs.
