Old heating oil is hazardous waste, so it leaves under licence and with paperwork — not down a drain, onto the ground or into a bin.

About heating oil collection in Brookfield
The heating oil in a domestic or commercial tank is a controlled, flammable oil, and time is not kind to it. Condensation feeds a sludge and bacterial layer beneath the fuel, the oil oxidises, and the tank itself can corrode from the water sitting in it.
The typical trigger is a heating change — oil to heat pump or gas — that strands a tank of oil. Removing it is quick once accessible, and the transfer note shows the tank was cleared for a sale or an estate.
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.
A collection is arranged around your site in Brookfield: we match the kit to the access, quote per litre on the volume, and book a window. The lift is a short visit — pump out, check the vessel, issue the note.

Common questions
Do you collect heating oil in Brookfield?
Yes — across Brookfield and the rest of Renfrewshire. 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.
