About old petrol disposal in Greenisland
The trouble with a tank of forgotten petrol is that it quietly turns from fuel into a liability. It loses combustibility, gains acidity, absorbs water where there is ethanol, and coats the fuel system in varnish. Because it is flammable hazardous waste, the safe answer is to have it removed.
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.
Disposal is what keeps you clean under duty-of-care rules: the petrol goes to a permitted facility rather than anywhere convenient, and the transfer note proves where it went and when.
For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Greenisland is taken to a permitted facility, recovered or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note you keep as compliance evidence.

Common questions
Do you dispose of old petrol in Greenisland?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Greenisland and the rest of Antrim. 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.
