Municipal Biosolids Removal

Tenelco is designed to help your municipality save significant time and money on the waste management process. Washington State municipalities are required to produce biosolids that meet Class B state and federal regulations, with 95% of pathogens eradicated from waste at municipal water treatment facilities. Tenelco has the state permits to retrieve and haul Class B biosolids from municipal sewage treatment plants to cropland application sites in numerous locations within the state.

Biosolids Transport & Land Application

Tenelco provides municipalities a more eco-friendly alternative to dumping waste in landfills. Our company works with agricultural landowners who utilize biosolids on their farmland as a ‘greener’ and more effective fertilizer. Land-applied biosolids have been proven to make farmland 30+% more productive than synthetic fertilizers, while also being safer for the environment. And with our own transport and application vehicles and equipment, we can land-apply biosolids year-round.

Septic Receiving

Tenelco also has state permits to perform septage receiving services. Our local facilities provide a place for septic pumping companies to offload collected septage, which are then processed into Class B form to deliver to cropland application in Washington.
