Understanding Waste Holding Tanks for Mobile Office Trailers
If you’re setting up a temporary office trailer on a construction site in Middle Tennessee, there’s a good chance you’ll need a waste holding tank. It’s one of those behind-the-scenes essentials that keeps your site compliant, your crew comfortable, and your operations running smoothly.
Here’s what you need to know about how they work, and how Eagle Site Services makes it simple to get set up.
What Is a Waste Holding Tank?
A waste holding tank is a sealed, low-profile tank that sits underneath or alongside your office trailer. It’s designed to collect blackwater (from toilets) and graywater (from sinks or showers) when your trailer isn’t connected to a sewer system.
They’re especially common on:
Remote construction sites
Infill projects without utility hookups
Municipal or infrastructure projects where trailers serve as command centers
How Setup Works
At Eagle Site Services, we provide the tank, along with optional fresh water tanks and pumps, but you’ll need a licensed plumber to connect your trailer’s plumbing to the tank. Proper planning is key, so we recommend coordinating well in advance of trailer delivery.
Once installed, our team will handle scheduled waste pump-outs based on your usage.
Service Options & Emergency Backups
Most job sites do well with once-weekly servicing, but if your trailer has high traffic or multiple occupants, we also offer twice-weekly service.
If your tank fills up unexpectedly before your scheduled service day, we can accommodate emergency service requests, just give us a call, and we’ll respond as quickly as possible.
