About heating oil collection in Currie Edinburgh
Heating oil covers both the 28-second kerosene most homes burn and the heavier 35-second gas oil some older and agricultural boilers use. Both degrade in a standing tank, both collect water and sludge at the bottom, and both foul a burner once contamination takes hold.
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.
A collection is a booked visit: the carrier turns up, pumps the heating oil out of the store, bowser, drums or cans, checks the container and removes it, handing over the waste transfer note as your record.
For a collection in Currie Edinburgh 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 Currie Edinburgh?
Yes — across Currie Edinburgh and the rest of City of Edinburgh. 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.
