Proper Organic Waste Disposal

Every house and building in a community has some sort of wastes for disposal. Most of these wastes are classified as organic waste and can be reused. But instead of reusing them, most people would include these in the garbage bag for dumping into the landfill. However, if this waste is reused properly, this can be composted and used for gardening and farms.

Examples of organic wastes are leftover food, fruit peels, napkins, paper plates, grass cuttings, and other biodegradable wastes. Other trash, like plastics, glasses, or metals are not biodegradable and should not be included in the organics waste bin.

Proper organic waste disposal is something that every home should start doing. It’s simple and easy to do. Aside from starting it at home, restaurants and other food businesses might also be interested in such services. These establishments usually have a lot of organic wastes, which makes them good places to start.

Proper organic waste disposal minimizes the waste produced in the house or in the building. This lessens the garbage and ensures that the non-biodegradable ones are properly dumped in the landfill. This is also good for the environment in the long run, especially when many homes and establishments participate.

Disposal of organic wastes have to be done regularly. If you are maintaining a composting spot at home, segregate your waste every day or every other day and place them in the compost bin. For establishments, weekly disposal might be a better alternative especially when there are lots of wastes accumulating.

Are You Looking for Trouble?

Your business needs to know what is going down the drain, and you need to have a way of controlling just how much grease and oil gets into the system. If you start putting grease and oil down your drains, there is a good chance that you could cause a clog in the system. It could cause the entire plumbing system in the building to back up.

Imagine the havoc that this could cause! It could back up your drains and lines, and that could cause your business to have to shut down while you get things sorted with a plumber and sewer line cleaning service. Clogged drains can even cause flooding in businesses, which would mean even more when it comes to repair costs.

When you have a business that works in the food service or production industries, you know that you need to have a grease trap installed to prevent these types of issues from occurring. However, you need to make sure that you clean these traps, as well. This is something that too many businesses are lax about, and that is where some problems start. You need to have quality grease interceptor cleaning service to make sure that oil, grease, and other items are not in the wastewater that goes down the drain because of an ineffectual trap.

Getting the Help You Need

With all of the terrible things that can happen when you do not take the proper precautions about using proper grease traps and cleaning those traps, it is easy to see why it’s so important to have a good grease trap service. You want to have a company that will be able to come in, clean and maintain the traps, and make sure that you do not have a problem with too much grease, oil, and food debris running down the drains.

Grease Trap Cleaning

A grease trap is a receptacle that channels wastewater from the kitchen directly to the sanitary sewer lines. Regular cleaning of grease traps prevents overwhelming buildup of grease and is essential in order to ensure its continued efficiency. Clogging and frequent back-ups in grease traps are usually the outcome of improper maintenance and cleaning practices or the general lack of them. Moreover, or outdated cleaning practices such as pumping are also ineffective when addressing clogging problems.

Reiterating our commitment to providing best cleaning solutions to distressed clients, Edenflo uses modern high-pressure water jetting technology to rid grease traps of oil and grease deposits. Mounted on our fleet of state-of-the-art multi-purpose pump trucks, the jetting system effectively bombards grease traps with pressurized and heated water to clean even the toughest oil and grease deposits. Jetting is also effective in unclogging certain inaccessible areas where a power snake fails to reach.

Although grease trap waste largely consists of water, food waste and other products are also found in them and these are difficult to recycle. Our multi-purpose pump trucks are mounted with a high-pressure vacuum pump that collects these substances so that they can be easily transported and disposed of in an appropriate place. This way, we provide our clients with an eco-friendly alternative to conventional grease trap cleaning services while guaranteeing 100% service satisfaction.

And because our modern high-pressure jetting system is truck-mounted, it is extremely mobile, promising the quickest response to distress calls. We also provide our clients with an immediate response through our 24-hour emergency helpline. Our services are available to clients residing in Vancouver and in the surrounding areas.

Catch Basin Cleaning

The need for catch-basin cleaning

Catch basins are openings for storm drain systems that catch sediments and debris through a curb, grate or sump. Catch basins stop trash from making their way into the drainage system while also to protecting the quality of the water by filtering out pollutants. Catch basins need regular cleaning and maintenance in order to ensure proper drainage. Sediment and debris that accumulates in the sump areas should be removed to allow free passage for water. Catch basins that are full of sediment and debris block the entrance to drainage systems and sewers. Other than to stop blockages, maintenance of catch basins is also important in order to prevent pollutants from entering sewers. This makes Catch basin cleaning a crucial and regular practice as pollutants that are allowed into sewers as a result of neglect are inevitably discharged into streams, waterways and lakes. Moreover, inadequate maintenance of catch basins causes accumulation of water in parking ways and along streets.

Our Catch-basin Cleaning System

We provide high-quality cleaning and maintenance services to anxious and annoyed customers in the Lower Mainlands of Canada. Our dedicated team of professional servicemen have years of experience in the service-based industry and are committed to providing faster and comprehensive cleaning of underground pipes, sewers and drainage systems. Fitted with all the necessary equipment needed for catch basin cleaning, our multipurpose trucks specialize in catch basin cleaning. We use an innovative technique that combines heated and pressurized water that is delivered through catch basin pipes at supersonic speed. This process effectively eliminates blockages even in the most unreachable areas of pipes such as bends and turns. Our multipurpose trucks are also mounted with industrially approved high-powered strength vacuums that cleanup catch basins effectively and efficiently.

How frequently should Catch Basins Be Cleaned?

How frequently catch basins should be cleaned varies from area to area. Typically, catch basins should be cleaned once every year to ensure that they are at their best. However, if you reside in an area that has higher levels of pollution, you should ensure that cleaning is done on a more frequent basis. This is because polluted cities have higher discharge of trash, waste and debris all of which can easily find their way into sewers and drainage pipes. It is therefore necessary to remove sediments and trash accumulated in sumps with our catch basin cleaning service.

Some ways to ensure clean catch basins

Catch cleaning services may only be required once a year if these preventive measures are followed religiously:

  1. When clearing sidewalks or driveways, dispose of debris and waste material properly using trash receptacles rather than sweeping it down gutters and catch basins.
  2. Remove debris and leaves immediately whenever you see such waste material blocking catch basins around your business or house
  3. Try to keep catch basins open during winters as snow mostly blocks them.
