Chemical disposal
Posted: 24 Aug 2023, 15:16
Hi all,
Recently I used our contracted waste disposal service to dispose of chemicals. When the invoice came in the SAM told me my portion was $5000 worth. I asked to see the invoice and saw they had charged me for 500kg of waster. I contacted the company and was sent the paperwork. I queried it and said that I had sent them the manifest and there was no way it was 500kg.
I also emailed the truck driver.
The contractor came back to me and said there had been an error at the weigh station. They then charged me for the correct amount $1100.
Moral to the story: take photos, weigh and have a manifest. It pays to be vigilant.
