A 1500L septic tank is suitable for most small dwellings with 1 to 2 bedrooms, including tiny homes, cabins, granny flats and sheds. Check with your local council for specific requirements in your area.

We do not offer change-of-mind returns due to the bulky nature of the product. If your tank is damaged or defective at the time of collection, we will arrange a replacement or refund. Full details are in our Return and Refund Policy.

Question 9

What vehicle do I need to collect a septic tank?

Accepted Answer
