Can You Charge Different Rates for Different Waste Types?

Portalogic septage receiving stations are customizable to accept different waste types such as:

  • Septage (residential or commercial septic tank waste)
  • Fats, oils, grease (FOG)
  • Leachate from landfills
  • Portable toilet waste
  • Holding tank waste
  • Other approved non-hazardous commercial wastewater

Enabling Custom Rate Setting for Your Facility's Hauled Waste

Septage receiving stations commonly charge different rates depending on the waste type, and modern software makes this easy to manage.

With customizable waste type profiles, facilities can set specific permissions, pricing, and tracking rules for each waste stream. For example, Portalogic management software enables operators to accept and track multiple waste types such as septage, grease, and leachate while assigning custom fees and acceptance rules to each. 

Because each waste stream varies in strength, treatment cost, monitoring requirements, and regulatory risk, facilities typically use tiered or customized fee structures.
