Filling a skip with waste 
Storage Transportation
The first stages of transportation can be ensured by the collection equipment
itself: slurry spreaders,
loaders, skimming vessels,
sanitation trucks… It can also be carried out by pumps, tank trucks,
skip trucks and trailers. This equipment is used on the polluted site and
does not necessarily need to be 100% watertight, but should be well adapted
to the particular conditions of use. On the other hand, transportation from
intermediate storage facilities, by road, rail or sea, requires receptacles
which avoid all risk of spreading the pollutant during the journey and,
if necessary, may involve washing the tyres and sills of the vehicles in
a decontamination area before leaving the storage facility.
