What is Classed as Wet Waste?
Let’s kick off this guide by defining what is classed as wet waste. To put it simply, wet waste is anything that is considered to be organic. In contrast, dry waste is materials such as bottles, cans, clothing, plastic, wood, glass, metals and paper.
On the other hand, wet waste is usually food items, hygiene products, yard waste, tissues and paper towels, and other soiled items that contaminate recyclables.
Many different industries may find they produce a lot of wet waste. For example, different manufacturing industries may be left with wet waste as a byproduct of their production lines.
Does Wet and Dry Waste Need to be Separated?
If you have wet waste on your site, you might wonder why it needs to be handled in a specific way or even why it needs to be separated from dry waste.
The segregation of dry and wet waste is essential as it makes the task of recycling dry, non-biodegradable waste easier. In terms of site safety and efficiency, it also ensures site standards in terms of health and safety and met.
How to Handle Wet Waste on your Site
So, now you know what wet waste is and why it is important to deal with it properly, let’s discuss how you can handle wet waste efficiently and effectively in your industry.
Suppose you are not already utilising an industrial vacuum cleaner on your site to remove waste and debris. In that case, you are missing out on a high-quality and efficient cleaning solution. However, removing wet waste is a different issue and requires specialist equipment to remove it safely and effectively.
This is where the Liquid Interceptor & Separator unit from Industar comes into play. Designed for use with any Verhagen vacuum cleaner, the liquid interceptor and separator ensure you don’t have to buy additional equipment for separate cleaning tasks on your site. This high-quality unit attaches to your Verhagen commercial cleaner to get the job done. So, when you need to remove wet waste from your site, you can simply add the attachment and enjoy stress-free cleaning.
But why do you need an extra attachment to handle wet waste?
When cleaning up wet waste, liquids can clog up and affect your vacuum’s motors and filtration system, eventually causing it to fail. Not forgetting that it will also mix together wet and dry waste, making segregation much harder to achieve.
With the Verhagen Liquid Interceptor & Separator, you can look forward to a high standard of craftsmanship and the best quality materials. Each unit has an internal stainless steel strainer and a large diameter bottom drain valve for handling wet waste. Plus, they can hold up to 130L, ensuring you don’t have to worry about stopping and starting to empty your commercial cleaning to get the job done.
