Our service pricing

Customers pay UGX 30,000 (USD 8.60) per 200-litre barrel removed and transported to the treatment plant, equivalent to UGX 150,000 (USD 43.00) per m3. Although this is expensive in terms of cost per unit volume compared with the charge for a full vacuum truck, it compares favorably with a vacuum truck call-out charge of around UGX 175,000 (USD 50), always assuming road access is possible. Additionally, customers with cashflow constraints can decide how many barrels they can afford to have removed. The average revenue per job is UGX 300,000 (USD 85.70), equivalent to 10 barrels. Labor, dumping fee, fuel and disinfectants cost a total of UGX 122,000 (USD 34.80), yielding an average profit per job of UGX 178,000 (USD50.85), or about USD 100 for two jobs a day. The business started in 2013 with 20 barrels and two Gulpers, expanding enough by 2014 to rent a truck to transport the full barrels to the discharge site, and then to buy one in 2015.
