The service

What we do

Collection and compliant disposal of leachate from landfills, ponds and waste facilities.

Most people who call us work for a council or run a landfill and are managing a leachate obligation. If that sounds like your situation, ring the office or send the details through the contact form and we will give you a straight price and a day.

What is included

  • Vacuum truck to site to pump out leachate tanks and lined ponds
  • Safe handling of the chemical load, including ammonia and nitrogen
  • Transport of the leachate to a licensed treatment facility
  • A record of every load for your compliance file
  • A collection schedule set up around your tanks and the season
  • Fast response when a tank is close to overflowing

Common questions

How often should leachate be pumped out?

It depends on rainfall. Gippsland summers are drier so tanks and ponds fill more slowly. In winter, keep a close eye on landfill tanks so they do not reach the overflow point.

Why does it matter if leachate leaks?

Leachate carries a high load of toxic substances. Untreated leakage into groundwater or a nearby waterway is both an environmental and a public health risk, and the regulator takes it seriously.

Do you provide the compliance paperwork?

Yes. We meet the EPA rules for the transport and disposal, and give you a record of every load so your file for the site is complete.

Can you set up a run for a council landfill?

Yes. We work with council landfill operators across Gippsland on regular runs, and can lift frequency in wet weather when tanks fill faster.
