About heating oil collection in Dervaig
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.
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.
The lift is the easy part once it is booked — a registered carrier attends, empties the heating oil, checks the vessel and takes it away, with the transfer note issued on site so the chain of custody is clear.
A collection runs to a booked slot rather than a wait. We confirm the price and window against the litres and access in Dervaig, the carrier attends, draws the fuel off, and the transfer note is issued there and then as your record.

Common questions
Do you collect heating oil in Dervaig?
Yes — across Dervaig and the rest of Argyll and Bute. 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.
