Stormwater is the rainfall that runs off impervious or saturated surfaces in urban environments, such as roofs, roads, pavements, and carparks, as well as gardens and parklands. In natural environments,  rainwater infiltrates the soil where it can be absorbed by vegetation, or evaporates into the atmosphere. In cities, however, this natural cycle is interrupted, and instead stormwater run-off collects sediment and gross pollutants before flowing into waterways 

Without effective stormwater management or treatment, stormwater can cause problems on and off site through erosion and the transportation of nutrients, pollutants, litter and sediment into our waterways.

Heightened awareness of the ecological effects of urbanisation has increased in recent years. Developers now seek to minimise adverse environment impacts on commercial or large-scale residential projects.

Do you own a café? Or maybe a restaurant? If so, there are certain  commercial food preparation and service requirements to adhere to when it comes to trade waste disposal.
