Form process

Acceptance of trade waste under any category is conditional on the trade waste meeting Council's sewer admission limits unless otherwise specified in the Trade Waste Plan (TWP). Component limits will be applied on the basis of concentrations and daily mass loads.

It is the responsibility of the trade waste generator to install, operate and maintain "best practice" pre-treatment devices or processes to ensure sewer admission limits as approved for that generator are not exceeded.

In the event of a significant change in the strength or volume of a trade waste approved under Category 1, 2, 3 or 4, Council at its discretion may treat the waste as a Category 5 trade waste discharge for the purposes of charging and monitoring.

After you submit this form, a Council officer will contact you as your request is progressed. This usually occurs within three working days.
