Liquid Waste Disposal
Shift It provides professional liquid waste disposal for domestic, commercial and industrial customers. We collect sewage, wastewater, sludge and other liquid waste from septic tanks, cesspits, holding tanks, interceptors and commercial drainage systems before transporting it to an appropriate authorised facility.
Liquid waste must be handled correctly to reduce pollution and environmental risks. The appropriate collection and disposal route depends on the waste type, volume, composition and any contaminants present.
What Types of Liquid Waste Do We Collect?
Our liquid waste collection services can cover:
✓ Septic tank waste
✓ Cesspit and cesspool waste
✓ Sewage and wastewater
✓ Holding tank waste
✓ Grease trap waste
✓ Interceptor waste
✓ Drainage sludge and silt
✓ Commercial wastewater
✓ Industrial liquid waste subject to classification
Liquid Waste Classification
Correct classification is important because different waste streams can require different transportation, documentation and treatment routes. This is particularly relevant where wastewater contains oils, hydrocarbons, chemicals or other potentially hazardous contaminants.
Assessment can consider the waste source, physical and chemical composition, contaminants, appropriate waste classification code and whether hazardous properties are present.
Commercial Liquid Waste Disposal
Shift It provides liquid waste disposal for commercial and industrial sites requiring one-off or scheduled collections. Services are suitable for construction sites, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, hospitality premises, workshops, property management companies and temporary welfare facilities.
How Is Liquid Waste Collected?
Collection is planned according to the waste type, volume, containment system and site access. Vacuum tankers and specialist equipment can be used to extract liquid waste and sludge before transportation to an appropriate authorised receiving facility.
A typical collection includes:
1. Identifying the waste stream
2. Confirming approximate volume
3. Assessing tanker and hose access
4. Confirming classification where required
5. Extracting and containing the waste
6. Transporting it to an appropriate facility
7. Completing relevant waste documentation
Duty of Care and Waste Documentation
Businesses producing controlled waste have responsibilities for how that waste is stored, transferred and managed. Waste should be transferred to appropriately authorised persons and accompanied by the required documentation.
Records can identify the waste description, classification, quantity, producer, carrier and destination, providing an auditable trail for the waste movement.
Hazardous Liquid Waste
Liquid waste should not automatically be classified as non-hazardous because it resembles ordinary wastewater. Oils, chemicals and industrial contaminants can affect classification and may require additional characterisation or analysis before collection and treatment.
Information Required for Liquid Waste Collection
To arrange the correct collection service, provide:
• Waste type and source
• Approximate volume
• Tank or containment type
• Tanker access and hose distance
• Known contaminants
• Waste classification where available

We are able to offer Scheduled or Ad-hoc Septic Tank and Treatment Plant Emptying
Generally Septic Tank and Packaged Treatment Plant emptying will need carrying out every year but if you are having any issues, or are selling your property, this would also be a good time to have the system emptied and inspected to highlight any problems, or to ensure the system is operating correctly prior to selling the property.
On turning up on site we will endeavour to empty your septic tank or treatment plant , usually without inconvenience to you or your neighbours.
Once emptied, the area will be left clean and tidy, and the removed waste will be disposed of at a Licensed Wastewater Treatment Facility, in line with current Environment Agency guidelines.
An invoice will be left with you, and this is also your Duty of Care, which you must keep for 6 years, as do we.
This paperwork enables you, us and the Environment Agency to track the carriage of your waste to its disposal point at the Licensed Wastewater Treatment Facility, to ensure that it is disposed of legally.
