About heating oil collection in Caputh
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.
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.
Collection puts the burden on the carrier, not you: they attend, pump out the heating oil, inspect what held it and remove it under licence, leaving the transfer note behind as evidence.
What makes a collection in Caputh smooth is knowing the access: whether a tanker can get to the tank, or the drums have to be carried out. Give us that and the volume on the call and the quote and window are fixed before travel.

Common questions
Do you collect heating oil in Caputh?
Yes — across Caputh 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.
