Automotive & Carwash Liquid Waste Services

Trusted liquid waste solutions for carwashes, mechanical workshops, service stations, and automotive operations.

We understand the unique waste streams generated by the automotive sector, from wash bay wastewater and oily water to sludge, fuel residues and contaminated liquids, and we handle them professionally, safely and in full compliance with EPA Victoria’s requirements.

OUR SOLUTION

Triple Interceptor Cleaning & Maintenance

Your business’s triple interceptor is a vital first line of defence against stormwater pollution. These systems separate oil, grease, fuel, and solid contaminants from wastewater before discharge to sewer or authorised treatment systems. Regular servicing and cleaning:

Prevents interceptor blockages and flooding.

Minimises risk of harmful contaminants entering waterways.

Ensures smooth, compliant onsite operations.

Whitford’s experienced technicians provide comprehensive triple interceptor pump‑outs, cleaning and waste removal services tailored to your site’s size and usage patterns.

Wash Bay Wastewater Management

Carwash and automotive wash bays generate wastewater that can contain detergents, sediment, oil, and grease. Discharging untreated wastewater into the stormwater system is prohibited and poses both environmental and regulatory risks.

We ensure all wash bay wastewater is:

Collected and removed with the correct equipment.

Treated and disposed of in line with EPA and water authority trade waste requirements.

Accompanied by documentation for compliance and auditing.

Having a pre-arranged emergency response plan in place ensures immediate mobilisation, eliminating delays during critical incidents.

Automotive Workshops & Service Stations

Mechanical workshops and service stations produce oily water, coolant, brake fluid, and other contaminated liquids. Our services include:

Oily water collection and disposal

Sludge removal from pits, pits, and sumps

Safe transport and environmentally compliant disposal

Regular maintenance ensures your drainage and pre‑treatment systems function effectively, helping protect infrastructure and prevent environmental harm.
