About kerosene disposal in Templepatrick
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.
Volume ranges from the dregs in a nearly empty tank to a recently filled 1,000-litre store. Either is collected; the quote follows the litres and the access.
Once lifted, the kerosene is disposed of through a licensed route — recovered where it can be, destroyed where it cannot — and every step is captured on the waste transfer note you keep.
The compliance value of proper disposal is the record. The fuel leaves Templepatrick for a permitted facility, and the transfer note captures the movement — the difference between disposed of and merely gone.

Common questions
Do you dispose of kerosene in Templepatrick?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Templepatrick 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.
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.
How much notice do you need?
Often a collection can be booked quickly; the window is confirmed with the quote before anyone travels. Access and volume set the timing.
Will you take contaminated kerosene?
Yes — water-logged, sludged or bacterially spoiled kerosene is collected and disposed of the same way, with documentation.
