Trade Waste

Trade Waste is any liquid that is discharged to the wastewater system from commercial, industrial, manufacturing or trade premises resulting from any processes or operations.

All businesses that discharge to the wastewater system will need to apply to the Waipa District Council for a Trade Waste Consent.
 
Trade Waste Consents are the agreements between the Waipa District Council and the owners / occupiers discharging Trade Waste.
 
Trade Waste Consent defines:

  • the volume of wastewater that can be discharged
  • the nature and characteristics of the discharge
  • the type of pre-treatment required prior to discharge
  • service and maintenance requirements
