About old petrol disposal in Rossaveel
Stale petrol is a fire risk and a running risk in one. As it ages it throws off vapour more readily even as it loses the octane an engine needs, and the residue it leaves gums up everything it touches. It is also hazardous waste — you cannot tip it down a drain, onto the ground or into a bin.
The commonest jobs are seasonal: mowers and machinery woken up in spring that will not run, or classics pulled out after winter with a tankful that has turned. In both, draining the old petrol and refilling fresh is the reliable fix.
Once lifted, the petrol 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.
For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Rossaveel 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 Rossaveel?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Rossaveel and the rest of Galway. 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.
