Liquid waste from grease traps, septic tanks and trade waste needs to be carefully collected and handled to prevent environmental pollution.
Wellington City Council regulates the collection and transportation of liquid waste to prevent illegal dumping at unauthorised sites.
The Council will only grant a licence to operators who are compliant with the Liquid and Hazardous Waste Code of Practice. This requires waste operators to be audited to ensure the waste they pick up is disposed of correctly.
