Plastic Omnium cleaning crew get busy across the UK

Despite freezing temperatures, torrential rain and even a little snow, SULO’s specialist crew are giving a large number of underground waste management systems across the UK a thorough cleaning.

Throughout March, the two-man crew has been raising, emptying, jet-washing and lowering hundreds of SULO’s market-leading underground systems.

Starting in Lambeth, in South London, the crew headed to Tower Hamlets, in East London, and on to South East London, before heading out of the capital. The month-long assignment will then culminate in a series of cleaning and maintenance demonstrations in other locations where underground waste containers are used.

SULO’s hot wash cleaning service is offered to its local authority, registered social landlord and property management company clients. The cleaning, maintenance and repairs service can also be engaged to service underground waste management systems previously installed by other suppliers.

Each cleaning crew is supported by a purpose-built truck, which carries a fully enclosed hot washing facility supplied from a large on board water tank, and a hydraulic crane which is used to lift each underground container into and out of the truck. SULO’s cleaning service ensures that the residents have a more enjoyable experience when using the underground waste storage container, while encouraging increased rates of recycling. Additionally the washing and maintenance programme offered by SULO helps to prolong the system’s operational life.
