About heating oil collection in Almondbank
When a heating-oil tank leaks or fails, speed matters — a spill is an environmental problem as well as a heating one. Getting the oil and sludge out lets the tank be dealt with before more escapes.
Heating oil is the umbrella term; underneath it are 28-second kerosene for most domestic boilers and 35-second gas oil for some older and agricultural ones. Both, and the sludge with them, are collected and disposed of under licence.
Collecting the heating oil means bringing the equipment to you rather than moving the fuel yourself. The carrier draws it out of the tank or cans, checks for residue and takes it off site, documented on a transfer note.
For a collection in Almondbank the useful things to have ready are the volume in litres and how the tank or cans are reached — a tanker needs different access to a van. With that we quote and book, and the lift itself is quick once the carrier is on site.

Common questions
Do you collect heating oil in Almondbank?
Yes — across Almondbank and the rest of Perth and Kinross. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the heating oil and issues a waste transfer note on site.
What counts as heating oil?
Both 28-second kerosene (the common domestic oil) and 35-second gas oil used by some older and agricultural boilers. We collect and dispose of both, plus tank sludge.
Do you remove the sludge as well as the oil?
Yes. The sludge and water at the bottom of a tank are part of the job and are collected with the oil, which is why proper clearance is more than pumping off clean fuel.
Is heating oil hazardous waste?
Yes. It cannot be tipped away, drained or left in a redundant tank. A registered carrier removes it and disposes of it through a permitted facility with a transfer note.
Can you help with a leaking or rusted tank?
We pump out the oil and sludge so a failing tank can be dealt with safely, and can advise on cleaning and decommissioning. Describe the tank when you call.
