About old petrol disposal in Toome
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.
Once petrol has been collected it is routed to a licensed facility, where it is processed for recovery or safe disposal. That routing, and the paperwork that goes with it, are handled for you — you are not left working out what to do with a drum of dead fuel.
Disposal is about where the petrol ends up and being able to prove it. Once collected it goes to a permitted facility for recovery or destruction, and you get a waste transfer note recording what left, when and where it went — your duty-of-care evidence if anyone ever asks.
Disposal is where duty of care bites. Under the rules the waste is yours until it reaches a permitted facility, so the transfer note issued in Toome — recording what left, when and where it went — is the document that keeps you covered if it is ever questioned.

Common questions
Do you dispose of old petrol in Toome?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Toome 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.
