Pellows Waste Disposal Services

A septic tank comes in different shapes and sizes, for example the old Cornish block-built tanks are built out of stone, concrete and even Cornish slate, with the more up to date septic tanks made from plastic or fibre glass, often referred to as onions or bottles.

Generally septic tanks have a primary chamber which allows for a collection of sludge to settle, it then fills up to a certain level and overflows into a soakaway, the filtered water then gets dispersed into the ground.The soakaway is a vital part of your septic tank, without regular empties the sludge will build up and overflow into your soakaway.

Realising that the average tanker load of sludge contained a high percentage of water, which was needlessly being transported for disposal at the local waste water treatment works. This system will treat any liquid waste from sewage, food waste, oil, concrete waste, canal waste, ponds, leachate and many more possibilities.

Understanding the importance of protecting and caring for the environment is paramount at Pellows. We have an established and constantly evolving environmental waste disposal policy. Pellows are committed to the protection of water, air and land from contamination and help promote recycling.

We have upheld this value throughout all our work with domestic and commercial customers, in the private and public sector for many years, and continue to strive in all aspects of our environmental clean-up and flood response service.We are required to deal with potentially hazardous and damaging products in many of the projects we undertake which require careful and safe disposal.

Grease traps can vary in size depending on the establishment. The waste produced by larger organisations such as schools, restaurants etc is significantly more than a small cafe so will need emptying more regularly. Essentially a grease trap is a trap which stops grease passing into a sewer system.
