An automatic scale system and sloped discharge area large enough for six trucks allow the haulers to complete deliveries quickly. Septic tank, grease trap, agricultural processing, and other difficult-to-treat industrial trucked waste is processed at the Muskegon Plant for the low price of 4.8 cents per gallon for waste that is up to 10% Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) or Total Suspended Solids (TSS) by weight.

Please contact our Industrial Pre-treatment Program at 231-724-3447 to discuss the steps necessary to discharge.

In general, the waste must be tested to determine its treatability, and a permit application must be submitted.
