Local Scottish heating oil collector in Camelon
For heating oil collection in Camelon? Call 01295 380724. A registered waste carrier attends anywhere in Camelon — home tank, farm or croft store, depot, marina, plant yard or a few cans in a lock-up — pumps it out, checks the container for residue and issues a waste transfer note on site. Usually 30-60 minutes on site, quoted per litre, often same day.
You cannot legally pour heating oil away or bin it — it is hazardous waste, so it is collected under licence and the transfer note is your proof it was handled correctly.

About heating oil collection in Camelon
Whether it is kerosene or gas oil, heating oil left standing degrades and contaminates, and a failing or redundant tank has to be cleared before it leaks or is removed. Because it is hazardous waste, a registered carrier handles it.
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.
A collection is arranged around your site in Camelon: 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 Camelon?
Yes — across Camelon and the rest of Falkirk. 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.
