REthinking Waste - From Recycling to Resources · S2 Ep 19 - What to do with watery waste - Countney Giddens - Reliance Recovery · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

So when it comes to things like washing our trucks and uh filling tanks for water blasting and unblocking drains, we reuse all of the water that comes from the plant.

Then if we, you know, you look at that other product, that dry dirt product, that's still technically contaminated, you know, because a lot of pipes and tanks around

Danat in.

Not all of them that we've learned, but um a lot of them might have asbestos in it.

You've got oils, hydrocarbons, and before that can be reused, it needs to be bulked up and have that contamination level lowered to a state where

It can be taken to Blackhead quarries, for example, and used as clean fill, or in some cases we've even learned can be used as compost.

So that's that's with our sump waste, that's what we do.

And that's how we're able to divert all of that sump waste from going into landfill, which which has been huge for us.

Um and in particular, even the bilge waste.

So bilge is a huge component of bilge as well.

Water.

Um and then it's got a little bit of oil in there, very similar to the ballast.

Yeah, so if you think about uh the mud tank grates you see when you're walking down the sidewalk or uh when you're driving down the motorway, uh those mud tanks along there.

Everything.

Yes.

And even the oil interceptors at um you know the BP fuel station.

Um but then you also have um you know cleaner ones, for example, like um that might be in the forecourt of a car park that barely gets used, but will fill up with debris and still needs to be emptied because they overflow, they unblock.

But that product might be sitting in, you know, in a sump in a s in a mud tank that doesn't have asbestos in it and it might just be filled with bark chips.

You know?
