About heating oil disposal in Roundwood
A heating-oil tank quietly accumulates trouble at the bottom — water from condensation, a sludge of degraded oil and bacterial growth, and sometimes rust from the tank itself. That is what fouls burners and corrodes tanks.
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.
The disposal side is the paperwork and the destination. The heating oil is routed to a licensed facility, processed or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note so you can show it was dealt with lawfully.
Disposal is where duty of care bites. Under the rules the waste is yours until it reaches a permitted facility, so the transfer note issued in Roundwood — recording what left, when and where it went — is the document that keeps you covered if it is ever questioned.

Common questions
Do you dispose of heating oil in Roundwood?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Roundwood 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.
