Dewatered biosolids are generally transported to the land application sites in covered or enclosed trucks. In the same way commercial fertilisers are transported, biosolids are usually delivered prior to crop planting. Good practice requires cleaning any excess biosolids from the exterior of the vehicle prior to transportation and after unloading.

Calgary’s biosolids are transported in enclosed tanker trucks. Upon arrival at a field application site, they are pumped to large mobile field storage tanks, and then transferred to special application vehicles called Terra-Gators.

Biosolids cake from the metropolitan wastewater treatment plants are transported in enclosed trucks with tarpaulin covers (to assist with odour reduction) and locked tailgates. Lime amended biosolids are transported in enclosed silos similar to the one photographed.
