About heating oil collection in Bowling
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.
Once collected, heating oil and its sludge go to a permitted facility for recovery or disposal, documented on a transfer note that is your duty-of-care record.
Collection is the practical half of the job: someone comes to where the heating oil is, pumps it out of the tank, bowser, drums or cans, checks the container for residue and takes it away under a waste transfer note. You keep the note as proof it was handled correctly.
Booking a collection is the easy part. Tell us the fuel, the rough litres and where the tank, bowser or cans sit in Bowling, and we set a window and a price before anyone travels. On the day the carrier pumps it out, checks the vessel and leaves you the transfer note.

Common questions
Do you collect heating oil in Bowling?
Yes — across Bowling and the rest of West Dunbartonshire. 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.
