About kerosene collection in Broughshane
Off-grid households run on kerosene, and every so often a tankful has to be cleared: an oil boiler replaced, a tank at the end of its life, contaminated oil that keeps tripping the burner, or a property being sold with oil still in the tank.
Tank decommissioning often comes with the fuel removal — draining the oil first so the tank can be cleaned, cut down or taken away safely. Say if that is what you need when you call.
The collection itself is quick and self-contained. A carrier arrives with the pumping kit, empties whatever the kerosene is held in, checks what is left behind and removes it, leaving you a waste transfer note that records the lift.
The practical side of a collection is access and volume. Once we know both for the site in Broughshane, 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 kerosene in Broughshane?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Broughshane and the rest of Antrim. They attend, lift the kerosene and dispose of it under the NIEA or EPA and the local authority, and issue the waste transfer note.
Is kerosene the same as heating oil?
Kerosene (28-second) is the common domestic heating oil for off-grid homes. Heating oil also covers gas oil (35-second) used by some older or agricultural boilers. We collect both.
Why does old kerosene stop the boiler working?
Water and sludge collecting under the fuel, plus bacterial growth, block the boiler's fine nozzle. Removing the old oil and cleaning the tank usually clears it.
Can I empty my own oil tank?
It is safer and cleaner to have it pumped out by a registered carrier, especially as the oil is hazardous waste that cannot be tipped away. You also get a transfer note.
Do you decommission the tank too?
We pump out and remove the kerosene and can advise on or arrange tank cleaning and decommissioning. Tell us what you need when you call.
