About heating oil collection in Ecclesmachan
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.
Domestic and commercial jobs alike are handled — a single house tank, a bunded commercial store, or a farm tank — quoted per litre against volume and access.
What a collection involves is simple: attend, pump out the heating oil, inspect the empty vessel, and carry it away for you — all covered by the transfer note issued before the carrier leaves.
A collection is arranged around your site in Ecclesmachan: 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 Ecclesmachan?
Yes — across Ecclesmachan and the rest of West Lothian. 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.
