Septic tank and cesspit emptying

Do you have a septic tank or cesspit? If so, you have a duty to make sure it’s emptied and cleaned regularly by a reputable waste carrier that’s registered with The Environment Agency.

Here at Outdoor toilet hiring we’re trusted by hundreds of commercial and domestic customers across Kwa-Zulu natal to empty septic tanks and cesspits in the right way.

When should my septic tank or cesspit be emptied?

A septic tank contains your waste long enough for it to separate into the solid matter that we collect, and the wastewater that’s released into a drainage field or soakaway system. Therefore, we recommend you get your septic tank emptied at least once a year.

Cesspits need to be emptied more frequently. This is because unlike a septic tank, they’re simply a sealed container for waste. So, as soon as it’s approaching full, you need to arrange to get it professionally emptied and cleaned.
