All homeowners without a direct connection to the Main Sewer have a septic tank emptying or Bio Cycle Tank requires Tank Emptying. They should be emptied annually. This ensures the tank is maintained to its optimum and that any problem with the tank is spotted in a timely manner. Reducing any incidence of costly repairs to the tank, soak away or percolation area. Also, the amount of waste depends on the capacity of the tank and the number of people in the home. At the time of the tank cleaning an inspection should be carried out to ensure there are no structural faults. To avoid your tank filling up sooner than expected ensure that no gutters or rainwater is running into the tank.
CES Environmental Ltd is a permit holder of waste disposal with the National Waste Collection Permit Office (NWCPO). A Copy of this permit is available on request.
