Disposal access

Definition

Where a pumper may legally offload septage, and what the receiving plant charges per load.

Why It Matters

This is the single-point failure of the trade. A treatment plant that stops accepting septage, or raises its per-gallon rate, turns a profitable route into a long haul overnight, and land application permits are getting harder to renew rather than easier. Ask how many sites will take the truck, how far away the second one is, and what the rate has done across three years.
