SUEZ – Specialist Municipal Fleet Cleaning

Keeping Waste Collection Fleet Operating at Its Best

‍

Overview

24/7 Fleet Cleaning Services provides specialist cleaning services for SUEZ's municipal waste and recycling fleet operating throughout Somerset.

Our work goes far beyond a standard vehicle wash. We help maintain the appearance, cleanliness and serviceability of refuse collection vehicles by carrying out specialist cleaning programmes, including fleet washing, MOT and service preparation washes, under-chassis cleaning and hopper dig-outs.

By working alongside the customer's operational and workshop teams, we help ensure vehicles remain presentable, easier to maintain and ready for daily operation.

‍

Modern Municipal Fleet Washing

Our fleet washing programme keeps SUEZ's vehicles looking professional whilst helping to protect paintwork and reduce the build-up of road film, dirt and corrosive contaminants.

Each vehicle is cleaned using specialist hot-water pressure washing equipment and commercial-grade cleaning products, ensuring an excellent finish while protecting vehicle components.

‍

The Challenge

Municipal refuse collection vehicles operate in one of the harshest environments on the road.

Daily exposure to household waste, food waste, recyclables, road salt and general contamination means that dirt and debris quickly build up throughout the vehicle, particularly around:

• Hopper mechanisms
• Hydraulic rams
• Compaction equipment
• Chassis
• Axles
• Rear loading areas
• Underside components

If left untreated, this contamination can make servicing more difficult, increase workshop preparation time and accelerate corrosion.

Specialist Hopper Dig-Out Service

These images show the significant build-up of compacted waste and contamination that accumulates within the hopper and compaction chamber.

‍

Waste Removal

Our operatives manually remove compacted waste before carrying out a full pressure wash and sanitisation process.

All work is completed using the correct PPE and safe working procedures.

‍

‍

Deep Cleaning Process

Following waste removal, the hopper is thoroughly pressure washed to remove remaining contamination from:

• Hopper walls
• Compaction plate
• Hydraulic rams
• Rear loading mechanism
• Internal framework

This restores the working area to a much cleaner condition for operators and workshop staff.

Finished Result

These images demonstrate the transformation following our specialist hopper cleaning service.

The equipment is left substantially cleaner, allowing easier inspection and maintenance while improving hygiene within the rear loading mechanism.

‍

MOT & Service Preparation Washes

As part of our specialist service, we carry out comprehensive MOT and service preparation washes.

Unlike a standard exterior wash, this process focuses on cleaning areas that mechanics and MOT inspectors need clear access to, including:

• Chassis rails
• Axles
• Suspension components
• Brake assemblies
• Steering components
• Hydraulic systems
• Engine and transmission areas
• Underbody framework

This makes inspection and servicing significantly easier while helping remove grease, oil and road contamination.
