Digital Waste Tracking for Interceptor Cleaning Made Easy

Digital waste tracking for interceptor cleaning doesn't have to mean more paperwork. Interceptor and drainage contractors produce oily water and sludge that is hazardous waste, so consignment notes and Defra records must match. We build a bespoke app around how your business works, so every job, weight and signature is captured once, digital waste transfer notes are sent automatically and your Defra records are submitted on time.

How Digital Waste Tracking for Interceptor Cleaning Works

Interceptor and drainage contractors service fuel forecourts, car parks, workshops and industrial sites, removing oily water, sludge and silt. Much of that waste is hazardous, and every load must go to a site permitted to accept it.

Digital waste tracking for interceptor cleaning means recording each service with the waste type, volume, consignment note and disposal site, all in one digital job record. Our app is built for planned maintenance and emergency call-outs.

Hazardous Oily Water Recorded Correctly

Oily water and sludge from interceptors are usually hazardous waste. The app prompts the driver for the right waste type, records volumes, creates an electronic consignment note and collects the customer's signature on site. The disposal site's ticket is photographed and linked to the job.

Planned Maintenance Schedules

Interceptors need regular emptying and inspection. The app schedules planned maintenance visits for each customer site, sends reminders, and flags overdue services. Emergency jobs, such as spills and blockages, slot into the same schedule.

Service Reports and Compliance in One

Customers want proof their interceptor has been serviced. The app produces a service report for each visit, including photos, readings, waste removed and the consignment note, and emails it automatically. The same record supports your compliance and digital waste tracking obligations.

When Interceptor and Drainage Contractors Must Comply

Interceptor and drainage contractors who carry waste are planned for Phase 2, expected to become mandatory from October 2027. If you operate a permitted treatment or transfer site for liquid wastes, Phase 1 already applies to waste it receives.
