Our Liquid Waste Hauler Program controls businesses that collect, pump, transport or dispose of liquid wastes. 

Liquid wastes include:

  • pumpings from sand traps, septic tanks, portable toilets, food service or petroleum service grease traps;
  • sludges generated from domestic wastewater treatment plants and lagoons;
  • and other types of regulated liquid waste.

Permits are issued to haulers that are subject to conditions of the quality of the waste, time and location of disposal of the waste, and operations of the waste hauler using Springs Utilities’ designated disposal facilities.

Section 12-5-1000 of the City Code delineates liquid waste hauler requirements, which include the use of a manifest system to document wastes that are pumped. Manifests require signatures by both the generator and the hauler to certify that the wastes are not hazardous. 

Electronic gate cards provide a means of tracking use of the disposal station and billing the hauler for each entry into the station. The fee for disposal is $0.0923308 per gallon or $92.3308 per 1,000 gallons, in addition to a $50 annual permit fee.
