Frequently Asked Questions

hat is a 500 gallon waste tank used for?

Plus
A 500 gallon waste tank is an effluent holding tank used where there’s no mains drainage available. It’s commonly hired alongside mains-connected toilet blocks, welfare units, or canteens to collect wastewater and toilet effluent safely on site.

Can it be hired on its own, or only with toilet units?

Plus
It can be hired individually or as an accessory to a mains toilet block/welfare unit, depending on what you’re running on site and whether you need a standalone holding solution.

Can waste tanks be delivered anywhere?

Plus
In most cases, yes, we can deliver to sites and venues across the UK, as long as there’s suitable access for our delivery vehicle and a safe place to position the unit.

Can multiple waste tanks be linked together for more capacity?

Plus
Yes — multiple tanks can be connected together to increase overall holding capacity, which is useful for longer hires or higher usage sites where you want fewer pump-outs.

We hired posh loos from George Shaw for our wedding in Yorkshire (big marquee shindig). Everyone commented on how luxurious the facilities were! Big, clean and easily capable of ‘looking after’ over a hundred guests. The service was very professional and, on such an important day, we just knew after talking to George and Allison that the loos were not going to let us down. Definitely recommend! Five stars.

I cannot recommend George Shaw enough to anyone looking to hire toilets! Our event was booked very last minute and we had lost all hope in securing toilet facilities but thanks to Alison and Alex at George Shaw who went above and beyond with their efficiencies and professionalism our issues were resolved. Both them and the set up crew were a delight to deal with. Will 100% use again.

Highly recommend George Shaw. We had booked to hire two portable toilets for our wedding but on the morning they were due to be delivered Alison contacted us and offered for us to upgrade to the trailer block for no extra charge. Toilets were spotless, very friendly team and great to deal with. Thank you so much!

Amazing service from the off; George & Alison were fantastic from the off and very personable. Shaw toilet hire could not have done any more for us - certainly getting us out of a sticky situation on New Years Eve!! HIGH RECOMMEND!!

It’s great to find a company that does a job and does it so well! A two year self-build required hospitality (ok, a toilet) and George Shaw provided it, cleaned it and even put it back up again when it blew over. A super local company that does what it says.
