Services and equipment
Murdoch removes and disposes of septic tank waste for homes and businesses. The service that stands out is a maintenance contract with a scheduled annual empty. You go on a regular programme so the tank is emptied at the right interval without having to remember to book. Its vehicles are sized to reach restricted sites, including private housing.

Places named on its website: Glasgow, Paisley, Neilston, Central Scotland.
Prices, call-outs and opening hours
No prices are published. For the annual contract, ask what is included: number of visits, volume, and any charge for an extra empty between scheduled ones.
Who it suits
J & M Murdoch suits owners around Glasgow and Paisley who want a scheduled empty they do not have to remember, and owners with restricted access, since its vehicles are sized for tight sites. For a one-off emergency empty with a fixed price, Hydro Scot is an alternative.
Because it is a larger haulage business, ask who your contact will be for the contract, so you have one person to call if a visit needs to move.
Questions to ask before you book
- What does the scheduled annual empty contract cost, and what does it cover?
- Can your vehicle reach a tank behind a narrow private drive?
- Will you remind me before each scheduled visit?
