Ireland — how this works

Fuel Fixer Scotland is a Scottish operator. We do not run our own vans in Wicklow, so we do not pretend to: what we do is take the call, work out exactly what has gone into which tank, and put you straight through to a wrong-fuel drainer covering Aughrim.

The advice on this page is the same either side of the Irish Sea, because the mechanics are: do not start the engine, do not move the vehicle, and get the wrong fluid out before anything is run through the system. That part does not change with the jurisdiction. What does change is the waste regulator — in Ireland that is the EPA and the local authority, not SEPA — and the drainer who attends will issue their own paperwork.

Call 01295 380724 and say where you are. If we cannot get someone to you, we will tell you that on the phone rather than take a booking we cannot keep.

About heating oil disposal in Aughrim

Heating-oil removal is usually about the tank as much as the fuel: an old steel tank rusting from the inside, a bunded tank being decommissioned, or a boiler upgrade that leaves a tankful of oil with nowhere to go.

Heating oil is the umbrella term; underneath it are 28-second kerosene for most domestic boilers and 35-second gas oil for some older and agricultural ones. Both, and the sludge with them, are collected and disposed of under licence.

Safe disposal routes the heating oil to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction and documents it, so the duty of care sits with a paper trail rather than with you guessing.

Disposal closes the duty-of-care loop for a site in Aughrim: permitted facility, lawful handling, and a transfer note that answers the only question that matters if anyone asks — where did it go and can you show it.

Common questions

Do you dispose of heating oil in Aughrim?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Aughrim and the rest of Wicklow. 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.

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.

Do you cover commercial as well as domestic tanks?

Yes — house tanks, bunded commercial stores and farm tanks alike, quoted per litre against the volume and access.

How soon can it be collected?

Often quickly for accessible sites; the window is confirmed with the quote before travel. A leak is treated as more urgent.
