Septage Disposal

Septic Service Trucks – Waste Receiving

Facility Use and Delivery Regulations

The South Essex Sewerage District maintains a receiving station that accepts septage generated within the District communities from permitted septage haulers. All septage haulers and each specific hauling vehicle must be permitted by the District.

Current hours of operation for the Septage Receiving Facility are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 12 PM. Haulers must contact the Operator on duty to open the gate, and have an Operations attendant present for delivery in order to test your hauled waste sample before disposing of it at the facility. The pH of all septage must be between 5.0 and 12.5 units. Any septage outside of this range will not be accepted.

Additionally, no toxic, high-grease, or large-grit loads are permitted as they will damage District equipment and negatively impact effluent quality.
