SURCHARGES

 

Liquids in Drums and containers containing solids/ sludges/ residues 

 

All flammable solids from our site have been sent for High Temperature Incineration or for further blending into support fuels for cement and lime kilns for the last few years. We are also sending most oil based and other chemical solids for Incineration rather than landfill.

 

The prices that we are charged for these materials doubled in the last 12 months and are still rising.

As a consequence we have had to increase the price we charge for solid drums as per our price list.

 

However we also need to carefully account for any solids that we receive in liquid drums which remain after we remove the pumpable portion/liquids. This information sheet outlines the surcharges we have to make where solids/ sludges remain after emptying the liquids.

 

We have considerable handling, reporting and disposal costs for undertaking the separation and therefore have to make the following charges.
