Trade Waste Application Form (Online)
To ensure that all trade waste is managed properly and in line with our updated policy, all businesses will now be required to complete and submit a Trade Waste Application form. This application will help us assess the type and volume of trade waste your business generates and determine the appropriate measures needed to handle it effectively.
The acceptance of trade waste under any category is conditional that any trade waste discharged must meet Council's sewer admission limits unless otherwise specified in the Trade Waste Management Plan (PDF 706.5KB). Component limits will be applied based on concentrations and daily mass loads.
It is the responsibility of the trade waste generator to install, operate, and maintain "best practice" pre-treatment devices or processes to ensure sewer admission limits are not exceeded. In the event of a significant increase or change in the strength or volume of discharge approved under Category 1, 2, 3, or 4, Council, at its discretion, may require the amendment of a current application.
No application fee is required for the submission of a new Trade Waste Application at this time. The personal information in this form is collected by Southern Downs Regional Council only for the purposes of assessing the request in this form and performing related functions. Council's Privacy Statement can be viewed here.
After you submit this form, a Council officer will contact you to progress your request. This usually occurs within 7 to 10 working days.
