How Does Our Leachate Collection Service Work?

Whether you want to set up regular fuel and oil interceptor cleaning, or support an emergency call out, we prioritise safety and controlled working practices at every site.
Our teams work closely with you to determine the most suitable transport and routing solution based on site requirements, collection volumes and operational constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions About Leachate Collection
What is landfill leachate?
Leachate is contaminated liquid that’s formed when water passes through waste materials and picks up dissolved substances, suspended solids and other contaminants.
Leachate is commonly generated at landfill sites, waste facilities and areas where waste materials are stored or processed.
Why does leachate need specialist handling?
Because of how leachate is formed, it can contain a wide range of contaminants, including hazardous pollutants like heavy metals, ammonia, dissolved organic matter and volatile chemicals. Therefore, specialist handling is essential.
What tanker capacities can CSG handle?
We operate a broad tanker fleet capable of supporting a wide range of operational requirements, from smaller-access works through to larger-volume bulk tankering projects.
The most suitable vehicle setup will depend on site access, waste characteristics and collection volumes.
Can you support variable demand during heavy rainfall periods?
Yes. We understand that leachate volumes can fluctuate significantly during periods of heavy rainfall or changing operational conditions.
Subject to availability and site access, we can support planned increases in collection demand where required
Do your operatives have the right certifications for this type of work?
Our services are delivered by experienced tanker and hazardous waste management teams, including ADR-qualified operatives where required.
We also operate under certified management systems including ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
What information do you need to arrange collections?
To help us provide an accurate quotation or collection plan, we’ll usually need:
- Estimated leachate volumes
- Site location and access details
- Storage arrangements or tank information
- Any available waste analysis or classification data
- Collection frequency requirements
- Site operating hours or permit restrictions
What happens to the leachate after collection?
Once removed from site, leachate is transported to suitably authorised facilities for treatment or disposal depending on the waste classification, contamination profile and acceptance criteria.
