About heating oil collection in Clarecastle
The sludge at the base of an old heating-oil tank is its own job. It is not clean fuel but a mix of water, degraded oil and bacterial matter, and clearing a tank properly means taking that away too, not just pumping off the good oil.
The typical trigger is a heating change — oil to heat pump or gas — that strands a tank of oil. Removing it is quick once accessible, and the transfer note shows the tank was cleared for a sale or an estate.
The lift is the easy part once it is booked — a registered carrier attends, empties the heating oil, checks the vessel and takes it away, with the transfer note issued on site so the chain of custody is clear.
The practical side of a collection is access and volume. Once we know both for the site in Clarecastle, the carrier attends on a booked slot, pumps the fuel out and documents it, often the same day for reachable tanks.

Common questions
Do you collect heating oil in Clarecastle?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Clarecastle and the rest of Clare. They attend, lift the heating oil and dispose of it under the NIEA or EPA and the local authority, and issue the waste transfer note.
What counts as heating oil?
Both 28-second kerosene (the common domestic oil) and 35-second gas oil used by some older and agricultural boilers. We collect and dispose of both, plus tank sludge.
Do you remove the sludge as well as the oil?
Yes. The sludge and water at the bottom of a tank are part of the job and are collected with the oil, which is why proper clearance is more than pumping off clean fuel.
Is heating oil hazardous waste?
Yes. It cannot be tipped away, drained or left in a redundant tank. A registered carrier removes it and disposes of it through a permitted facility with a transfer note.
Can you help with a leaking or rusted tank?
We pump out the oil and sludge so a failing tank can be dealt with safely, and can advise on cleaning and decommissioning. Describe the tank when you call.
