D&L Environmental’s blue hydrovac, vacuum and septic trucks work across the Okanagan and Kamloops every day, with emergency service 24/7. This is what that looks like: short videos from our crews, the radio ads you may have heard on The Lizard 104.7, and how to join the team.

Our radio ads
Our radio ads are meant to be funny. They’re tongue-in-cheek on purpose: a dry-witted announcer, a few bathroom jokes and a sign-off people remember. The jokes are for fun; the work behind them is careful and done by trained crews.
Each spot runs 30 seconds on The Lizard 104.7 in Kelowna and ends the same way: two honks of an air horn and a reminder to look for the big blue trucks. The full script is printed under each player.

Holiday Company
D&L Environmental will take your crap, and like it.
Ah, the holidays. Family, friends and Aunt Tildy’s famous fudge. But wait: what’s that smell?
[A plumbing gurgle]
Yup, it’s your septic tank.
[A sad trumpet: wah-wah]
D&L has increased their fleet with another new truck. They’ll roll in and clean that tank before your guests arrive. Get pumped. Book now. Visit dlenviro.ca.

Hydro Vac Blast
D&L Environmental will take your crap, and like it. They’ll give it a blast too.
What could you do with a massive 10-inch boom and huge blower? Move dirt.
If it’s too risky for a bucket, it’s perfect for hydrovac. Landscapers, developers: use the precision of hydrovac to expose underground infrastructure and utilities.
D&L Environmental…

Vacuum Truck Slur
D&L Environmental will take your crap, and like it.
Certified teams can swoop in and pump your slurry and sludge. Like a liquid hit squad.
Car wash wastewater, sludge ponds, flooded basements, oil-water separators. Expert service so good you’ll think they have a magic wand, but it’s really just a big hose.

Septic Tank Suck
D&L Environmental will take your crap, and like it. Because they suck.
If your backyard smells like a bad decision, make a good one. Get your septic tank pumped.
When things get ripe, D&L brings the pipe. Septic tanks need to be pumped roughly every three to five years.
Don’t become the king of turd mountain. Call the best poo patrol in the Okanagan.
