Over 40 years ago Pete White and Roger started Wessex Waste Disposal from the front room in Pete’s house, Manor Cottage ,when they set out to provide a customer focused business providing advice and a liquid waste disposal service in Dorset and Wiltshire.

It all started back in 1980 with the purchase of a GUY Big J4 to which was added a second hand farm tank. With a handful of enthusiastic customers shouting their support this provided the bedrock of the business today many of which, although older, and wiser, are still Wessex Waste customers today.

Fast forward to today and although we all face many new challenges, Wessex Waste has expanded to cover the West Country with a modern fleet of vacuum tankers but with the same focus on looking after the needs of our customers with our renowned, reliable, friendly and efficient service.

Sadly Pete died in 2015 after a short battle with cancer, but being built on the strong foundations Pete established the business continued to go from strength to strength and only last month taking delivery of the lasted DAF CF with the superb and highly efficient Fuller vacuum tank.

All the fleet are now powered by efficient Euro 6 engines, using Jurop vacuum pumps and Pratissoil jetting equipment, and with the continued expansion of the fleet, no job is too big or too small.

​​We are fortunate that we all have a very loyal team with all the drivers having been with Wessex Waste more years than we care to remember. All of whom worked alongside Pete and have carried on the ethos of Customer Service he established and cared so much about.
