Contaminated Waste Removal
in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Ipswich
At APU Excavations & Rentals, we offer licensed contaminated waste removal services tailored for the construction, industrial and commercial sectors. Operating under a Queensland Government Environmental License, our team is fully certified to manage hazardous waste with care, ensuring safe collection, transport and disposal across Brisbane, Gold Coast and Ipswich.
Whether it’s contaminated soil, asbestos, PFAS or oily water, we provide compliant waste removal backed by detailed documentation and decades of expertise.
Safe and Certified Waste Collection and Transport
Non-destructive digging uses hydro excavation to loosen soil around underground assets, which is then vacuumed into a holding tank. This approach avoids the risks associated with mechanical digging and is compliant with utility protection standards in Queensland.
What we collect and transport:
- Contaminated soil from industrial and construction sites
- PFAS-affected material
- Asbestos (transport only)
- Oily and hydrocarbon-affected water
- Septic sludge and organic waste
- Cooking oil and waste oil from commercial kitchens
