Bulk Waste Logistics

Suttons is a key player within the bulk waste sector, with particular expertise in the raw cake and sludge markets. Suttons has a strong partnership with utilities companies across the UK, most notably with Yorkshire Water.

The partnership with Yorkshire Water has driven value for customers and significant efficiencies for the utility company.

With a large fleet of artic and rigid vehicles, as well as vacuum tanks and general purpose barrels, Suttons Tankers have the equipment to support with liquid waste disposal and transport, as well as chemical and hazardous waste.

Suttons Tankers also has experience with emergency response contracts within liquid waste management which require drivers to be ‘on call’ to assist with reactive enquiries.

Suttons have a multitude of depots located across the country to ensure they are where its customers need them most.

The majority of our liquid waste tanker fleet can carry up to 28 tonnes of product, however, we have rigid vehicles which can carry 18 and 14 tonnes of product.

These vehicles are often better for smaller sites which can be difficult to manoeuvre on.

Sometimes there are occasions when a customer doesn’t need to fill the tank to its maximum limit and this can be ok, but maximising payloads is a way to make sure the customer is getting best value for money, so it is encouraged.

All liquid waste products are different so looking at the Material Safety Data Sheet is important to understand the nature of the product and the transport requirements.

The costs for liquid waste transport varies depending on the requirements from the customer, activity profile and the fleet that is required to do the job.

There are many different variables that need to be taken into account which can influence the pricing of jobs within the bulk waste sector. These include but are not limited to: loading and delivery destinations, nature of the product, customer delivery profile and when we can unload the product, the type of tank that is required to fulfil the job safely, and the frequency of the job.

Our Commercial team are always on hand to help price up work for customers, whether that be contract work with dedicated fleet or spot business.

Suttons transport liquid waste materials across the UK and have main depots in Widnes, Stockton, Scunthorpe, Hull, Ellesmere Port and Willenhall.
