Portable Toilet Emptying in Kerikeri and the Mid-North
Got a portable toilet on a building site, farm, event or bach that needs emptying? Northland Septic Tank Services empties and cleans out portable toilets across Kerikeri, the Bay of Islands and the wider mid-north. We're local, we run 24/7, and we're listed by the Far North District Council as an approved septic tank contractor.
Who we help
- Builders and contractors: keep site toilets serviced so your crew isn't put off by a full loo.
- Events and functions: weddings, sports days, markets and gatherings where portaloos fill up fast.
- Farms, orchards and lifestyle blocks: toilets for seasonal workers and out-of-the-way sites.
- Baches and campgrounds: holding tanks and portable units that need a regular empty.
We don't hire out portable toilets. We empty and clean out the ones you already have, wherever they are.
What's involved
We pump out the holding tank of the portable toilet with our vacuum truck and take the waste away for proper disposal. Some portable toilets need extra water to rinse and recharge after emptying. If there's no water on site, or you'd rather we didn't use your tank water, let us know when you book so we can sort something else.
Our trucks need to get within 45 metres of the toilet. On building sites and paddocks, please make sure there's a clear, firm track, especially in winter. If our truck gets stuck in soft ground, towing costs are the hirer's responsibility. Check our important information page before your service.
Regular servicing
For longer jobs and busy sites, a one-off empty usually isn't enough. We offer programmed regular servicing, so your portable toilets are emptied on a schedule that suits your crew or event, and you don't have to remember to call.
Portable toilet FAQs
How often should a portable toilet be emptied? It depends on how many people are using it and for how long. A busy building site needs emptying more often than a bach toilet. Call us and we'll suggest a schedule.
Can you empty toilets after an event finishes late? We run a 24/7 service. Give us a call on 0800 763 559 to arrange a time.
Do you service toilets on rural or hard-to-reach sites? Yes, as long as our truck can get within 45 metres. Tell us about steps, gates or soft ground when you book.
Do you also clean septic tanks? Yes. See septic tank cleaning and pump-outs and treatment plant pump-outs.
