Waste is indispensable for any commercial activity, which may include bulk volumes of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Safely disposing of commercial waste is not only a legal requirement, but it has also become important in an increasingly eco-conscious world that focuses on reducing carbon footprint and sustainability. Efficient and compliant methods of commercial waste disposal help save the environment and also reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills. Specialized companies in Australia that deal with commercial waste disposal, such as Richmond Waste, run waste recycling programs to conserve materials and energy. As recycled materials use less energy, it helps reduce energy consumption, which also leads to a reduction in carbon footprint.

To reduce your costs due to waste, look at the type of waste and its volume that is produced by your business, and identify areas of savings and change. Find out how much of it can be recycled or reused, because landfilling is not always the first option. Experts at Richmond Waste providing you with commercial waste disposal can also suggest ways to reduce the amount of waste generated by your commercial establishment, which will lead to lower disposal costs.

Treating and safely disposing liquid waste

If you run commercial activities such as oil and gas, chemicals, and manufacturing, liquid waste generation is an inevitable part of your everyday operations. Liquid waste disposal, especially hazardous liquid waste disposal is heavily regulated in Australia, and even tiny infractions could lead to heavy penalties. Liquid waste seeps inside the soil, contaminating the underground water, and also affecting the nearby marine life. It could be especially alarming if liquid waste is hazardous, such as acids and solvents. That’s why; Richmond Waste’s liquid waste disposal services treat your liquid waste before disposing of it, which results in minimal or no harmful impact on the environment. In many cases, treated water from the liquid waste can be used in other operations, and for farming purposes.

Different methods of liquid waste disposal

Improper liquid waste disposal can also make people seriously ill. If the waste fluid leaks, spills, or runs off the ground, it can contaminate groundwater and surface sources that are used by people. To ensure safe liquid waste disposal, Richmond Waste makes use of a variety of techniques and methods. Dewatering works well for non-hazardous liquid waste wherein liquid waste is pumped into a sturdy bag that removes water and leaves only solid waste. Landfills typically do not accept free liquid, but non-hazardous solid waste can be disposed of at a landfill. Centrifugal dewatering is also used for the dewatering process. The root zone liquid waste disposal method is used for relatively clean domestic wastewater. This method is exceptionally environment-friendly and uses only 20% of the energy typically used in a sewage treatment plant. The incineration method may be used to treat liquid hazardous waste wherein specialized furnaces are used to remove acids, chemicals, oils, slag, and rock tailings from the liquid waste.
