Dirty Water Disposal - Carpet Cleaning
« on: February 12, 2011, 07:15:17 am »
Hi Guys,

I have asked this in the carpet cleaning section as well.

After you guys have cleaned a carpet what do you do with the dirty water that have chemicals in?

1. Do you take it to a waste disposal site?
2. Tip down a drain / or in a boarder where the flowers grow
3 Other

What are you suppose to do with it by law

Best bet is to pour it down the toilet then your know it goes to foul - unless its a septic tank system, cess pools are ok.
Personally I don't see too much harm where ever you pour it

Hi, firstly by law you need to get a waste carriers licence from the EA, £150 ish for three years so not bad. Then contact your local water board who will tell you how to dispose of the foul water.
they told me that I have to tip it down the toilet or sewer drain at my home address.
Never tip it down a rain drain ! Unless you want to face being fined up to £20k :o

If you don't carry it you don't need a licence. Just pour it into any foul run at the customers before you leave. Why make it difficult for yourself ?
