Drums, jerry cans and bowsers are collected too. Access in Shetland Islands is usually via A970, A971 and A968, and we work Lerwick, Sullom Voe and the inter-island ferries. Tell us the fuel type and the rough volume in litres when you call and you get a price per litre and a collection window before we travel. ## Getting to Scalloway Scalloway is in Shetland Islands, so attendance is planned around the ferry timetable rather than a drive time. That means two things worth knowing before you call 01295 380724: the arrival window is given as a sailing, not an hour, and the price quoted already includes the travel, so it does not move once the technician lands. Leave the vehicle where it is in the meantime — the wait costs you nothing as long as the engine stays off. ## Fuel collection prices in Scalloway Guide prices for collection and disposal.
