About old petrol disposal in Clontarf
Petrol that has sat through a season is rarely worth saving. Oxidation, evaporation of the volatile fractions and, in E10, water absorbed through the ethanol all leave a fuel that is weak, acidic and full of gums. Draining it costs far less than the injector clean an attempt to burn it usually leads to.
Volume is rarely an obstacle. A single jerry can, the tank of a barn-find, or a store of mixed old petrol from a workshop clear-out are all straightforward to lift once we know the rough litres and where it is.
The point of disposal is provability. The petrol ends up at a permitted facility, handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note records the whole movement as your evidence.
The compliance value of proper disposal is the record. The fuel leaves Clontarf 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 old petrol in Clontarf?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Clontarf and the rest of Dublin. They attend, lift the old petrol and dispose of it under the NIEA or EPA and the local authority, and issue the waste transfer note.
Can old petrol be recycled?
Once collected it goes to a licensed facility where it is processed for recovery or safe disposal. That routing is handled for you and documented on the transfer note.
How much old petrol will you take?
Anything from a single can to a full vehicle tank or a bulk store. Tell us the rough volume in litres and you get a price before anyone travels.
Is a small amount still worth collecting?
Yes. Even a can or two is safer removed than left in a garage, and it is lifted with a transfer note the same as a larger volume.
Will you take mixed or misfuelled petrol?
Yes — petrol mixed with diesel, oil or other fuel is collected and disposed of the same way. Just say what is in it when you call.
