Local Scottish heating oil collector in Macduff

Call 01295 380724 and a registered carrier comes to you — domestic tank, farm store, depot, marina or a stack of jerry cans — empties it, checks for residue and leaves you the waste transfer note. Around 30-60 minutes on site on site, quoted per litre, often same day.
This is hazardous waste in law, which is why it is pumped out, carried under a registered carrier and disposed of properly rather than tipped or left.

About heating oil collection in Macduff
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.
For a leaking or corroded tank, getting the oil and sludge out is the first safe step before the tank is cleaned, cut down or removed. Describe the tank's condition when you call so the right kit comes.
At collection a carrier comes to the heating oil wherever it sits, draws it out, checks for residue in the tank or cans, and carries it away — the transfer note recording exactly what was lifted.
What makes a collection in Macduff 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 Macduff?
Yes — across Macduff and the rest of Aberdeenshire. 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.
