Leaders Septic Tank Emptying Cornwall Ltd are a Licensed waste carrier, complying with all applicable legislation regarding the handling and disposal of your waste and as such will issue you with all relevant documentation required every step of the way. The general advice from the Environment Agency is that Septic Tanks should be emptied or de-sludged once per year by an operator licenced for the carriage of waste by the Environment Agency.

Over time, sludge will build up in the bottom of the tank. Even though bacteria does help control the amount of sludge in the bottom of the tank, this bacteria cannot break down sludge fast enough to completely eliminate sludge, especially with the different types of soaps and detergents we now use in our sinks, toilets and showers.

The general advice from the Environment Agency is that Septic Tanks should be emptied or de-sludged once per year by an operator licenced for the carriage of waste by the Environment Agency. However, this can vary depending on your household type, for instance a family household with a dishwasher, washing machine and multiple bathrooms where showers and baths are a daily occurrence, may require emptying more frequently.
