Domestic and Commercial Waste Management Services in Edinburgh

Supporting households and businesses across Edinburgh with reliable industrial cleaning and waste management for over 50 years.

At Walsh Brothers Industrial Services, we understand that Edinburgh is a city of contrasts - from historic closes and winding streets in the Old Town to modern developments across the suburbs. Our experienced team provides a full range of waste management services, tailored to the needs of both domestic and commercial customers.

Domestic Services Across Edinburgh and the Lothians

For homeowners in the suburbs and surrounding areas such as Balerno, Currie, and South Queensferry, we provide dependable septic tank emptying and cleaning services. Many properties in these areas are off the mains sewer network, so regular tank maintenance is essential to avoid blockages, odours, and costly repairs.



Our fleet is equipped to handle a variety of access situations, whether you’re tucked down a narrow lane or based on a larger rural plot. We plan visits carefully to minimise disruption and ensure tanks are emptied and disposed of in line with SEPA regulations.

Commercial Waste Solutions in the Capital

Operating in a busy city brings its own challenges, and that’s where our experience counts. We work with a wide range of commercial clients across Edinburgh, including:



• Hotels and guest houses, where discreet service is key to guest comfort.
• Schools and colleges, ensuring facilities run smoothly.
• Historic buildings and tourist attractions, where access is limited and extra care is needed.

We also understand the pressures of the hospitality industry. That’s why we regularly support city-centre restaurants and bars, scheduling grease trap emptying before the sun comes up to keep kitchens running smoothly throughout the day. When emergencies happen, such as basement floods or blocked drains during peak service, our rapid response team is on hand to restore normal operations quickly.

Local Knowledge, Safe Operations

Edinburgh’s unique layout - with its restricted access, narrow closes, and listed buildings - demands a specialist approach. Our operatives are trained to work safely and efficiently in these environments, using the right equipment and methods to protect both people and property.
